If anyone out there has BBC or BBC America
I may be on one of their broadcasts. I was leaving an Obama event here in Davenport, IA earlier tonight and a young lady asked if I wanted to talk to her. I said sure, why not? She then asked me several questions about what I liked about Obama and whether I believed him. I said that I liked his plan to end the Iraq war and sorta liked his plan for Universal health care. She also asked if I thought America was ready for a Black President and I answered that I most certainly do think that we are ready for an African American president. In case I am on, I was wearing a long sleeved gray T shirt which said Cubs in large red lettering and a black ball cap which said "Impeach Cheney?" which I got for free from the democrats.com website. Unfortunately, I don't have a dish, so I am unable to get BBC but if anyone who does get it happens to see my ugly mug I would appreciate it if you don't laugh, er, if you could let me know. I am a large guy, so maybe that will be another identifier. Bluzmann may go international! Is the world ready?

5. Well, who knows if they'll even show it?
I thought I was fairly articulate, but I have a face made for radio. lol. And it looked as if there were a number of "man on the street" type of interviews going on. And good luck with whatever you are doing now, a thousand miles from home. Hope you make it back safely.

10. Well, they DO have the radio 'world service' as well.
That was my lifeline during the revolution, via shortwave!

I'm on a road trip, heading home in a day or so!
