1. One kick befor dying

2. What about Randi and Mike????

This line-up of journalists might have been acceptable 10 years ago, back when they were considered true 'liberal' voices. But today we have Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy and a half-dozen other journalist commentators who are all better at telling today's truths than these, admittedly admirable, folks are.

Our hope is the Internet and the NEW media. Nothing that comes from the old one is nearly useful enough.

4. I like Randi and Mike, too, but there are some hard hitters in the list
