FUBAR in the (old) news
It's hard to believe it's taken me 15 months to get around to this after receiving a few requests long ago, but here is President Bill Clinton greeting Senator Leticia Van de Putte and me, on the podium of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Since the footage is at the end of a 25 minute speech, it was fairly inaccessible before editing.

The rules of engagement/FUBAR in the news
I taught a "how to deal with reporters" class over the weekend, to students attending a Texas Democratic Party campaign training camp (great bunch of folks, by the way - if they're who will be working in Democratic campaigns next year, I'm guessing we're in pretty good shape). Part of the curriculum is explaining the rules of engagement when dealing journalists. It's not very exciting stuff, but it's pretty important, if you're a campaign staffer, candidate, or reporter. Personally, I'm used to this stuff and still get tripped up from time to time. And it certainly doesn't come naturally, so it's important material to learn. I'm also constantly amazed at the
