Jane Devin is a friend, someone who has won my admiration because of her huge heart, intelligence, wit, and survival skills.
Jane is traveling across the country, documenting her travels both in writing and on video. It's called "Finding My America". Her latest stop was the Detroit auto show.
And what, or rather, whom did she trip over while she was there?
Why, none other than one solitary little teabagger who was protesting all by his lonesome.
And yet... And yet...
...he was interviewed by media all day. According to Jane's tweet to me, "the guy has an AOL address, a P.O. box, and invalid web certificate!"
Yes, a crowd of reporters encircled the one Tea Bagger, once again drawing attention to a cause that deserves shunning, not glory:
There was a protest expected outside of the Cobo Center, where the NAIAS was held, but it ended up being a lone self-described “teabagger” (Jeffrey McQueen,who has a PO box in Rochester and, at least according to my Safari browser, an invalid website certificate) against a dozen or so UAW members. Still, the media showed up to interview McQueen, which was both funny and disheartening. There were far better stories to be found inside Cobo, where talent and ingenuity — instead of dogmatic pessimism — prevailed.Please read Jane's whole series, including this one. Here's her video:
