WEEK EIGHT OF FRIENDS OF FRIDAY FORUM

Hello! Well I just found two excellent links to two amazing articles. Both are out of The Progressive. The first is from Helen Thomas (White House press room journalist).

She basically tells what it's like trying to ask our "wonderful” president a question. The second is by Howard Zinn:

The first article I thought was interesting because I would love to be in the press briefing room at the White House. I would love to give good George a two-part question. (I guess he can't handle them.) I wrote this early because I will be in the battle ground state of Wisconsin latter this week (La Cross to be exact) being interviewed for a job. All I hope is that I can finally settle down and I also hope that I will be able to vote in November. Michelle [North Dakota]
