¡Sr. Bush, Derribe esta pared!

The US Senate has voted to build a 370-mile long, triple-layered fence along the Mexican border.

It raises the question, who are they going to hire to build it?

Wonder if Senators were scouting any day laborer sites. (MSNBC)

With all Them Printin' Presses, You'd Think They'd Remember

Ike Piggot over at Accentuate the Positive, 2.0 may be onto a government conspiracy to silence the press. Though, mind you, he has terabytes of bandwith on his sarcasm server.

He's posted civics flash cards printed up by the Government Printing Office.

The cards are used to prepare immigrants for their citizenship tests.

The card in question asks you to name one freedom guaranteed in the First Amendment. It lists all but freedom of the press.

A couple of generations of immigrants, and we'll forget all about those nosey reporters.

Ike's got pictures of the cards. Check 'em out, before the NSA shuts his site down. (ATP, 2.0)

Watching Washington in the Washington Post

There I was -- on the front page of the Washington Post this morning.

A big surprise. Knew the article was coming -- but sure didn't expect the "A" section.

The folks at washingtonpost.com even included a clip from one of our videocasts here.

As for the story (sorry for burying the lead): It's a cool story about YouTube's explosion on the Internet video scene. Part of the lightening fast changes going on as video and broadband revolutionize the Internet.

Reporter Sara Kehaulani Goo interviewed me as part of a story about YouTube and videoblogging a couple of weeks ago. She and photographer Gerald Martineau even hung out with me for an hour or two one Sunday afternoon watching me tape and post one of my Watching Washington videocasts. I had a great time. For them -- it had to be like watching grass grow. Talk about suffering for your art. They deserve big points.

The line of the day from people at my day job -- who didn't know I do this: "You have a green screen in your house?" (WashPost)
