This is a public service announcement. Anybody that has seen a stray dog that answers to the name "Quagmire" please contact Howell Raines at the NYT table...
What's the difference between ABC's Rick Kaplan and Baghdad Bob? 50 pounds and a black beret...

the promised ping to the after-action report

Well, it's all a matter of preference, but I'm not sure
this photograph catches my best side! ;) The print is too small on this too see it reads: "I read the New York Times. I get my news from anonymous low-level sources." The other side of my bag said much more clearly: "I watch CNN. Why is it so dark in here?"
I fully confess to being a bit of a pedestrian side-walk annoyance during this Freep. In particular, GunsAreOK, I'm sorry I nearly tripped on you on that wall! This get-up is not idea for Freeping, given its limited visibility.

Ah, bless you! You've captured my good side!! Here I am in my "bag:"

W04man and BufordP with some great signs:
To: Doctor Raoul; sauropod; hellinahandcart
Doctor Raoul with a great sign and a message that is simple, clear, and on-point. That "woman" in black is a very disturbinb looking Helen Thomas look-alike with a plate of crow. I choose to post this fleeting glimpse at "her" so as not to disturb anyone's sensitibilities.
To: sauropod
Here's a happily fuzzy
photo of the Helen Thomas look-alike.
To: FreeTheHostages; hellinahandcart; KLT
Well, you didn't do too bad yourself! I really liked your CNN viewer costume. Very good. Worthy of HRP.

Angelwood made up a t-shirt with the infamous Alan Diaz - AP photo of Elian being seized at machinegun point centered. CLINTON'S LEGACY was over the photo and FOR THE CHILDREN was captioned under the photo with www.freerepublic.com at the bottom. Earlier at the White House protest, she asked Kristinn if he would like to wear it to protest. He put it on over his other shirt and wore it all day.When Kristinn joined the conversation with Matt Drudge, Matt noticed the t-shirt right away and commented that he'd like to have one to wear at the dinner. Kristinn literally offered him the shirt off his back...and Matt Drudge accepted. One of ironman's pictures shows Matt holding the Elian t-shirt while ELS discusses it with him.
We tried to decide the best way for Matt Drudge to smuggle the t-shirt into the dinner. He had to go through Secret Service security checks so a big bulge in his tuxedo pocket was out. JulieRNR21 folded the shirt up and began unbuttoning Matt Drudge's tuxedo shirt right in the middle of the street. She was intent on putting it under his shirt, but it was still too bulky and Matt said they would think he was carrying a gun. JulieRNR21 reassured Matt the whole time she was undressing him, "Don't worry, I could be your grandmother." JulieRNR21 has lots of tales for her grandchildren after this evening.
Matt finally decided that he would try to put the t-shirt on under his dress shirt so he could flash Elian's picture later.

Hey, I found the after-action report from the year when Matt Drudge met us outside and then wore our Elian t-shirt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Julie -- I had forgotten how helpful you were. LOL

Angelwood....I still can't believe that I had the nerve to start unbuttoning his shirt.....but I was determined to help him get it into the Dinner to 'flash' Reno & anyone else he could!
What fun we had that night...I also remember our FREEP of the 'demonic duo' who came to the dinner in separate limos! Remember how we all sprinted down to the corner as the entourage turned down a side street probably to avoid passing our corner? However, we made sure that they saw us!
