Blogcritics Editors' Picks: June 28 through July 4 - Page 2

Part of: Editors' Picks

From Editor Gordon Hauptfleisch:

Warren Kelly, in his deft and well-crafted review of the breezy and accessible language book Far From the Madding Gerund not only tells us where we can stick our “anarthrous occupational nominal premodifier,” he also aptly conveys the book’s amusing and thought-provoking qualities. That is something up with which I can put.

TV/FILM

From TV Editor Jackie:

Al Barger cracked me up when spoke up about what he feels are The Ten Worst Sitcoms Ever. He's not shy when it comes to talking sitcoms, is he?

Don Baiocchi reviewed The Devil Wears Prada . Don's reviews always bring about a smile; he has a way with words. "Get over it, you fashion snobs!"  

From Editor Justene Adamec:

Golden Girl Rue McClanahan Accused of Slander, Malicious Conduct, and Other Calamitous Piercings of the Soul.  Eric Berlin dishes the dirt on the '70s sitcom star and the lawsuit brought by her former business partner. 

CULTURE

From Culture Editor Diana Hartman:

Conquering Self-Doubt leads the reader from definition to resolution, courtesy of the life experiences of author chantal stone.

The impact and honor of one person's choices and accomplishments are not left forgotten in Howard Dratch's CIA Files: WWII Heroine Virginia Hall Remembered.

Long thought to be a tool of detriment, especially for children, the Internet is proving to be a valuable and indispensable resource. Kathryn Krastin turns the tables in a big way in Teens and the Internet: The Positive Power of Families

When science takes to the playground, we see one of the most fascinating and anticipated events of childhood: the fireworks display. Joan Hunt takes us behind the scenes in Confessions Of An Explosive Woman

    Thank you. I love recognition.

    In this case there is also recognition for women heroes of American history and the heroic women who continue to serve in one way or another.

    Please check out the Amputee Coalition of America as well. There are more, real stories there about and for amputees and for those who care about them.
