Whatever He Likes...



Never a dull moment as an intern. Got to cover T.I. (aka King of the South) Friday on his latest venture to brainwash kids across the nation into thinking he's a role model.

Don't be like him kids. Don't do drugs or get caught with a bunch of guns. But yeah, he's fly and he's got a milli-a milli-a milli and he can have whatever he likes. You don't want to be rich like Clifford Harris and break the law. You get easier prison sentences and get to walk into the GA Supreme Court dressed like a hoodrat (what would his mother say, really?) and you even get trusted to mold young minds.

Really, it's a bad deal kiddos.

On a more serious note: I did actually enjoy his talk. I think he's talented and could serve the youth well if he got his life together. Here's to hoping 366 days in federal prison does the trick.

On a more hilarious note: Loved seeing journalists whip out their disposable cameras and picture phones to snap photos! One guy put down his notepad and barely wrote down a thing; he was just listening to the man speak. (In my own defense, I only took video in hopes a newspaper might want it for online. Alas, no takers.)

Makes me wonder what would happen if Obama visited one day. Would I be too awestruck to do my job? Hope I get the chance to find out.

He speaks it:

"I don't care whether you're driving a hybrid or an SUV. If you're headed for a cliff, you have to change direction."

Capitol Punishment

Legislators can smell a news intern a mile away.
So can seasoned pros I rub elbows with in the Senate press box.
Might as well wear a sign on my forehead: Green reporter here! Feel free to give her the run around!

Bit of good news...was published in three newspapers last week, including photos I took during Capitol Tech. Not too shabby. Learning something new everyday. For instance: When you bypass security at the Capitol without your press pass on, they will, in fact, stop and search you and then look at you suspiciously from there on out. Smells like trouble.
