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.

[hispanarepublicana]

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.
