Bill Clinton in Eugene, Oregon

BILL CLINTON spoke last night at the University of Oregon in Eugene in behalf of his wife's candidacy, and of course, your trusty citizen journalist Nezua was on the scene.

The speech was attended by about 800 - 1000 people. I didn't count, but the venue was switched at the last moment from a ballroom at the EMU that had a capacity of 700, I believe, to an outside courtyard which wasn't quite full. I asked Hillary's press liaison what necessitated the change, and she told me that there were more people in line than would fit in the rather small ballroom. The switch was after the security sweep was done and everyone's credentials checked and everything locked down. Because of the last minute move, the lighting and sound and security went from controlled and having a feeling of being well-organized to an "on-the-fly" and very thrown together situation, in some ways quite lacking. But nothing that prevented us from doing our jobs.

A Hunger for Truth (And Tomato): Shooting the Obama Trilogy

I PROMISED YA I would relate my arduous tale of shooting the Obama event here in Eugene (Parts 1 and 2, 3 still to come), and so I now point you to a lengthy and well-illustrated blog wherein I relate the story of A Hunger for Truth (and Tomato): Shooting the Obama Trilogy. It oughtta be at least a little fun for political junkies as well as Eugene fans, as well as for camera/editing hobbyists and pros, iPhone owners, and sandwich lovers.

Words to live by

To the Chinese, freedom is a threat. To the right wingers, criticism of the Catholic Church was a threat. To some folks in Missouri, the fact that I continually bring up issues related to Johnson's shut-ins is a threat. Exactly how do we define a level of 'threat' in this new Gestapo brave new world? Is it in the eye of the beholder?
