I watched the President’s press conference on Monday. Well, actually, it was on my TV, but the volume was muted while I tried to play the guitar. Eventually I quit playing and turned the volume up, and it was about that time that I saw Helen Thomas get to ask her question about Pakistan. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a press conference – mainly because it’s not usually broadcast live in primetime – and I hadn’t seen long-time reporter Helen Thomas lately. She looked really old and I was curious just how old she was, so I did what any curious person would do: I Wikipedia-ed her. It turns out that she was born in 1920 and will turn 89 years old later this year. I read further down the page and in less than two minutes after she asked her question, her wikipedia page had been updated to include the question she had just finished asking! I knew wikipedia pages could change quickly, but I had never witnessed it for myself. Anyway, poor Helen didn’t seem satisfied with Obama’s answer, and when she tried to ask her follow-up question, her microphone was taken away. But, hey, at least she got a seat in the front row. I read that Bush had her standing all the way in the back of room!
