I'm taking a break at the Northern Alliance remote at White Bear Lake Superstore, which we just found out isn't being streamed to the Internet due to technical problems at the studio. Please accept our apologies for the problem; it apparently won't get fixed today.

While I'm taking a break, I want to remind everyone that I will be speaking at Coffman Union at the University of Minnesota on June 15th, starting at 7:00 PM. My appearance is being sponsored by CFACT, and I will be discussing the New Media and its impact on politics and the news media. I'll have a Q&A after the speech, which is what I like best. If you're in town, please join us.

Speaking of being in or out of town, I'll be traveling to Washington DC for Independence Day with family. While there, I will be on a panel at the Heritage Foundation on July 8th, 10:30 AM EDT, to discuss my coverage of the Canadian Adscam story and the breaking of the publication ban with the Jean Brault testimony. I'm delighted that Mark Tapscott, Director of Heritage's Center for Media and Public Policy, has arranged for Jim Hill of the Washington Post Writer's Group to appear on the same panel. Mark may even have more participants, and hopes to get C-SPAN to cover the event. If not, Heritage will still webcast the panel and the discussion on its site. Be sure to catch it.

While I'm in DC, I'm also hoping to catch up with bloggers and other media people with whom I've corresponded in the past, in between gawking at the Declaration of Independence and walking along the Mall. Drop me a line if you're in the area and maybe we'll schedule a dinner in order to make it easy for everyone to get together. I've already heard from a number of bloggers in the area, and hope to catch up with as many as I can.

This should be a memorable vacation ... and yes, I plan on bringing the laptop along to blog on events while I'm away.
