1. He is doing an incredible job....
the job of a real journalist instead of the infotainment talking heads of the mainstream media that think they are journalists.

2. beautiful courteous young man with grit
i've been watching him all day and the other day for about ten hours..i feel i know him..so humble and beautiful and representative of these young people. His hands were freezing today and he waited for gloves for a couple hours as one drama after another unfolded in front of him. He deserves a great big hug..warm socks and a nice dinner tonight.Thank you Tim

3. I saw that too and knew someone would get them to him asap. His constant commentary sets him apart
from others. I'm betting he gets job offers from what he's doing.

4. When the march on Wall Street began this morning...
...Tim hesitated as he passed a fruit vendor, wondering if he should take a banana with him. :rofl:

Tim seems to keep going with only bananas to sustain him. Sometimes they're even crowdsourced bananas. :)

5. Will the ustreamlivestream
be up for Pulitzers...? I know it's hokey to ask about a mainstream award for these guys, but I've seen a few of them that just ROCK! and Tim is definitely one of them...he's cute too :blush:
