Clueless Thompson Staffer Gets Famous

July 26, 2007

Coverage of my coverage of Fred Thompson’s campaign stop here in Dallas was picked up by Pegasus News in a piece titled, "Possible presidential candidate Fred Thompson comes to town; Staff stiff-arms bloggers." It was followed by a quick mention on MSNBC and by local talk show hosts this morning. Michael Davis from the Dallas Progress picked up the story as well in a post titled, "Fred Thompson Campaign Blows off Blogger." The only photo (blurry and seen below) of mine they are using is of the ‘guy who wouldn’t let me in’. In Mike Orren’s piece he shows the photo with the capition, "What? You one of them blawgers? From the Interwebgs? How many tubes you usin’ boy?" You can Digg the story here.

    [...] Through my blog I have met hundreds of people around the global.  Whether I am attending a conference in San Francisco or Banglore, India I meet people who ‘know’ me through my blog.  I have been able to time-shift my life (i.e. tell stories, explain ideas and make suggestions) to thousands of people at the same time.  I couldn’t possibily reach the number of people I have through the blog via traditional means (conferences, email, phone, fax).  Presidential candidates (or their staff members) have contacted me about my ideas about immigration after reading about them on my blog.  It has been an amazing experience.  Over the next few weeks I am going to be working with a few ‘experts’ to help me refocus my efforts on the blogging front.  If you haven’t explored blogging I highly recommend giving it a try… [...]
