Video of my NECN appearance tonight re: Falluja here:
I can't post the actual video link, but it is this one:

"Military Response In Fallujah"

That's the title, and it is the top of the stack (as of Wed-Thurs) here:

Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 10:35 PM by Cush
what is NECN? Is it a local affiliate of one of the major networks? Or something separate?

2. I saw it
I PMed you about it. :)

I thought you did good. Wish I could have seen the other segment on the "political response". And that guy you were on with was a lunatic.

How do you think you did?

Couldn't decide whether that was funnier than "you gotta do what you gotta do" as the reason for attacking Falluja. *snort*

8. Really you got on? Congrats on your '15 minutes of fame'
My grand moment was when my call was actually aired on Larry King Live. Well, actually it was his substitute. My wife recorded it on the VCR for posterity.

Pretty nice when us everyday shlubs get a brief moment in the spotlight. Again, congrats.

13. Really? That's neat. One trick to getting on these shows......
A guy who gets on all these call-in shows told me....Call 15 minutes before the show actually begins. He says it works like a charm. I haven't tried it yet.

But I am glad some DUers are getting on these shows. I'll just keep plugging so I can too.

11. You gave an excellent performance.
And you speak as well as you write. Was it hard not to kick the guy sitting next to you? LOL. I tend to agree with the woman who said we need to negotiate more with Sistani and other prominent Iraqi's. Violence is begetting violence - our administration still does not get it. I also felt like cheering those anchors who said, in effect, that the administration is blind. They deny and diminish, but the empirical evidence of total chaos is overwhelming. The denials ring hollow even to people who once believed.

14. You picked up steam in the second half....

Great job in relaying facts to the viewing public.

Truthout is linked on the Howard Stern web page that boasts 8 million hits per day. Has Truthout seen a noticeable increase in traffic?
