Attorney General Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school. After the typical civics presentation to the class, he says, "All right, boys and girls, you can all ask me questions now." Young Bobby raises his hand and says, "I have three questions: 1) How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2) Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit Americans' civil liberties? 3) Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet?" Just then the recess bell sounds and all the kids run out to the playground. Fifteen minutes later, the kids come back into class and Ashcroft says, "I'm sorry we were interrupted by the bell. Now, you can all ask me questions." Charlene raises her hand and says, "I have five questions: 1) How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2) Why are you using the USA Patriot Act to limit Americans' civil liberties? 3) Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden yet? 4) Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early? 5) Where's Bobby?"
Keeping an eye on blogs, citizen media,citizen journalism, citizen reporters and anything about technology that's news for the news business since 2002. Acting locally in Chicago, thinking globally.
