1. Heh. We'll all attend and put a gimlet eye on the proceedings and pose profound questions. Will the P-I send a representative, or are they recoilling in horror of the competition?
2. This is going to be interesting and I wish I could be there.
I believe there is a huge shift in the way people receive the news but also spread the news. The Web, the Blogs, and even simple email is driving the information train. The immediate effect is to demonstrate the absolute chasm that exists between the MSM and the population in general. MSM can't, won't or don't understand it and will be playing catchup for the next few years. (Check out the NYT statement)
Shark, I hope we get to see a summary.

3. Any lefties invited? or is this just another circle j*rk.....thought so. Why don't you just do it at Marshas church?
4. Don't mind danw...he never made it out of kindergarten.
Hey Stefan, I'll be at Thursday's session.
5. Hey danw,
Hasn't it occurred to you that the event will occur amidst the leftie ocean of the UW campus? That's like Billy Graham and Pat Robertson holding a seminar in a mosque.
