I was interviewed by Yamiche Alcindor and her article is fair enough and accurate enough for the space that USA Today gave her. She braved the whole three days and spoke with lots of folks so we may have other articles coming.
The picture was a last second thing she did at the end of day one and while she was interviewing Kathy Jackson of The Cornered Cat. I had no idea my ugly face would end all over the interwebs. I saw the poster being sold and I got me one, I think it is pretty cool and it downright attracts attention. I also bought 6 stickers with the same design: I am keeping one and the other 5 I will give away in some sort of silly contest that I have to come up with.
I checked the comments and found this on kinda funny:
I did meet Romney for a few seconds (Hi welcome to the hotel thanks <handshake>) while he was staying at a hotel I used to work. This was I think in 2007 when he was being considered as a candidate. I told my the boss that he might become U.S. president and he laughed. On November 7, I am gonna call him and give him a big “TOLD YOU SO!” for the hell of it.
Thanks for all you do but….more pictures of Kathy and like minded Ladies would be nice and easier on the eyes….be safe 🙂
You want me dead, don’t you? Kathy was keeping an eye on me under instructions of SWMBO. 🙂
LOL. “She Who Must Be Obeyed”. Gotta love the Rumpole of the Bailey reference
you are gonna love my reply to that idiot on the article….
Well, as faces of the pro-rights movement go… it is a face ;).
Looking forward to commenting on November 7 saying, “I knew your boss was right back in 2007.”
and we now understand why you call yourself DJFrustration.
Already regretting that I didn’t attend.
I think the USA Today article was very fair, except for the slight misstatement of “stand your ground.” She says, “no duty to retreat in the face of harm and can use lethal force.” Generally, lethal force is only allowed if there is a reasonable fear of death or imminent bodily harm. The way she wrote it sounds like you can shoot somebody just because they might shove you, which is untrue.
Agree. But we cannot expect 100% at once. She did pretty good for a journo.

Next time this happens, I’ll go in, and go on a long Progressive spiel and whatnot and play up the minority card, and then say I am a conservative.
Naw, on second thought, I don’t know if my brain can run that without shutting down. Nice to see your mug on the papers, amused at the comment.
Ok, so you’re my evil twin everybody keeps talking about.
