It’s Good to Know How Valuable We Are
When we signed up for the 2A Blog Bash, we were told that if we were attending the annual banquet, they’d make sure to seat us all together at a “good” table. Last year in Louisville, we were towards the back, but right on the center aisle with a good view of the podium and the speakers.
This year? Well, as Denise said “We weren’t at the worst table, but . . .” The “but” being we were at the table right next to it. I don’t know what those people did to anger the NRA, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know! Granted, something on the order of 6,300 people were served at one time, but still.
Having said that, the food was actually pretty good (the main course, anyway), and the two speakers were excellent. John Stossel kicked ass, and while I’m not a fan of Ollie North, he gave a damned good speech.
Stossel is trying his best to get his 20/20 pieces distributed to as many schools as he can on DVD to help teach “critical thinking” to students, which I think is a fine idea. He showed some short clips from a couple of those DVDs, and noted that most of his stuff is available on YouTube. In my copious (*COUGH!*) spare time, I’m going to have to go peruse those.
