Can you get me the thread?
Remember, it has to have appeared HERE first....no where else.

I saw the story on the big train collision/explosion in N. Korea here on FR maybe 2 days before the Old Media picked it up.

Sort of. Here's the thread I remembered: It's Dick Cheney. Which was based on an NBC report that Cheney changed his voter registration. That said, Drudge reported this news three days later: DRUDGE SIREN: AP: IT'S CHENEY. That thread appears to have been pulled, having come from the wash Compost.

I don't have the link but we were the first to report the shuttle was in trouble. The WSJ mentioned us.

I'd say that counts.

It came from just north just like you said. I was out looking already. As soon as I read the time it hits SF and touchdown time I knew I better hurry up.
That is on the list of cooler things I have ever seen.
thanks!

It wasnt a glow that spread back like a comet but it must have been "on fire" because it was bright and big.
