From FReeper Snugs’ graphics shop, here are last week's winners:

Morning AB congrats to Phsstpok, Anita and Kabar for their excellent performances last week. Thanks once again for the thread.
Great to be back here after three weeks without a day off.

Thanks AB & Good Morning to EveryOne! Thanks also to Johnnie & snugs for the honor. I am taking off this week, looking forward to reading your chat later in the night.

Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets

###### Why MSM shower praise on Powell? Because Powell Tried To Use Blair To Undermine Bush.

###### If things are so bad, why are they so good? -> Despite the Gloom, More Bush Boom.

###### Giving "Journalists" what they deserve! Get a Clue from Germany! Big Brother Eyes German Journalists. It may soon no longer be a good idea to tell a journalist something confidential over the phone in Germany. It would also perhaps be prudent to avoid sending e-mails, faxes or text messages. In the future, sources might be better off furtively intercepting reporters on their way home, writing letters, or sending smoke signals. Good Job, Merkel!

###### Journalism Confusion! -> Violence In Iraq Way Down. Escalating violence = civil war & Decreasing violence = confused journalists!

###### A Challenge to Time Magazine! -> to Get Their Facts Straight on Iraq reportage.

###### MSM Reporter bully U.S soldier in Baghdad Calvan, a Baghdad correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers admits his efforts to "bully" a U.S. soldier who stopped him at a checkpoint outside the Green Zone. Now there are demands that McClatchy should recall that Baghdad reporter

###### Wash.TrashPost Reporting 101 -> Success of Military not worth Front page reporting, NEVER.

###### NYTimes writer's Lie exposed -> with Video as proof, on Fred Thompson reportage. And, that 's not the only time.

###### 'Newsweek' to Cut 500,000 From Rate Base. Circulation Guarantee to Advertisers Dropped to 2.6Million.

###### Herald-Tribune Media Group Cutting Jobs and a section completely. It 's part of the NYTimes Co.

###### Several Big Newspapers' circulation fall -> to the highs of over 7% including Atlanta Journal-Constitution, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, San Diego Union-Tribune, Miami Herald and Dallas Morning News.

This Just In .......

*** Awakenings -> The Schiavo case revisited..

*** Speakeasy! Karl Rove.

*** CNN sent Bobbie Batista to Retirement, now she co-hosts the Retirement Living Channel!

*** Clinton Scandals -> Up for Auction!

I thought the interview with former President George H.W. Bush was outstanding. Very frank, very telling, very supportive of his family.

Since my son was in Desert Storm, I enjoyed that part of it too.
