Not pertaining to this event specificly, but as a side note, I always do a double take when someone mentions an event that doesn't "get reported" even though myself or someone else has already heard about it from somewhere... magazine, tv, local paper or what have you. It just gives me a very mildly amusing mental shoulder-tap.

Agreed, that's the spirit I took it in.

I'm pretty much washed up as a political commentator anyway. It's time for me to retire that hat.
