His 15 minutes of fame: Blue-Jay in Associated Press protest photo!

Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 11:37 AM by prolesunited

See the story and photo here:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=597003

Since it's a crowd shot, I circled him to show exactly where he is.

He just moved to Chicago and he's already out there making waves. :toast:

I guess if he decides to run for public office, the GOP will use this against him. I imagine they'll put Jane Fonda in there with him somewhere. BTW, I was standing at his side. I guess I didn't make the cut.

5. No. That's an AP photo.

We found it on the AP site after the protest, and were waiting to see if it hit a major news site.

Pretty cool, though. ;)

10. That's weird.

Was that sarcasm? I'm neither famous nor a hero of any sort. Just a regular guy standing up for something I believe in.

I wouldn't have recognized him without his famous squirrel.
