    I listened to some of the coverage on WRFG last evening, sounded like everyone was energized.

    The TV coverage however focused a lot on the Police Response.. But they also showed Dr. Lowery a whole bunch too.His quotes were wonderful. I could listen to him read the back of a toothpaste tube and be interested..

    I had to come downtown for a deposition today. People everywhere. Tons of them. I ran into a Vanderbilt college dem with an awesome t'shirt over at the Chic-Fil-A line. On the front it said "Democrats are Sexy" and on the back it said "Have you ever heard of a great piece of elephant?" I think that would be an awesome button.
