Good news: got there really early so had a spot up front.

Bad news: where to charge the computer.

Good news: Filmed interviews with many people including an excellent one with Kim Halkett of Al Jazeera and Yushin Sugita of Kyodo News Japan.

Bad News: Had a card error and lost both interviews, I was able to find Yushin to re-film it but never found Kim, its a real shame as she was really cool and had great things to say about where she was now working (btw it’s http://www.aljazeera.net/english ).

Good news: A lady sitting behind me was a big Doctor Who fan and I was able to let her know about the big finish stuff.

Bad News: she wouldn’t go on camera.

Good news: Witnessed the police and the fellow who egged the bus. The Tea Party people, classy folks that they are choose to let the college kid off as he apologized profusely.

Bad News: Didn’t get it on film or wasn’t able to interview him as he took off in a hurry all shaken up. The police said he was very lucky, if the egg had hit on of them all bets would have been off.

Good news: Interview with Michael Graham

Bad News: Didn’t get a chance to interview his mother.

Good news: Saw Roxeanne two days straight!

Bad News: Lost her in the crowd over and over.

Good News: They let me on the Tea Party Express and I’m on the bus to Washington as I type this.

Bad News: I have only my laptop the clothes on my bad and the fedora on my head, and the wife is not happy and uploads are very iffy here.

Good news: I have been able to upload some pictures

Bad News: No chance at all on the videos so far. Including the Palin videos.

Let me put it bluntly: If she didn’t come out loudly against Sarah Palin she would not have won this award. Period!

DaTechGuy April 12, 2010 on Kathleen Parker winning the Pulitzer Prize

If Barney Frank was a conservative, Jason Mattera would be celebrating a Pulitzer win today.

Paraphrase of Rush Limbaugh April 13, 2010, Heard by me in the car on the way home today during the first half hour of the show. Since I was not recording I put “paraphrase” in the front in case I got the exact wording wrong.

And Parker is as I tweeted this morning admitting it as well:

I suspect if I changed sides I would have a job in a second.

It’s nice to see the AP Prove me wrong…

…about this:

Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.

Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.

The fact that it is reported at all is promising. The question becomes will this become widely reported or even discussed in the MSM. Lets see what happens. I’ll have my camera tomorrow.
