The coolest press conference ever
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/loophole/archive/2008/07/the_coolest_press_conference_e.shtml(Photo by Rodrigo Arangua/AFP)On my other computer screen, I'm rolling live footage of the Ingrid Betancourt press conference from some airport tarmac in Columbia.

Tagging People At The Airport
http://fallontrendpoint.blogspot.com/2008/05/tagging-people-...you got your shit together (and no, I didn’t have to go through a second time). If you weren’t fast in collecting your stuff after it went through the X-Ray, people pushed things aside in order to grab their gear and get the hell out of there.

http://www.taspillao.com/blog/?p=510(…) Hasta ahora, la agencia regulatoria - que le reporta al gobierno - no ha explicado por qué la familia de las caricaturas es un mayor peligro para la mente de los niños venezolanos que una salvavidas saliéndose de su traje de baño. En la radio pública de Minnesota: “No más Simpsons en el paraíso socialista de Chávez”.
