The UK media has discovered the US Senate story and today is Media Batshit Day. I just did a Guardian interview for tomorrow (to be in both paper and online - the online version is 3x the size of the paper version, so it's always a good idea to ask!). So look out for it.
There should be TV coverage as well, if Danny can match interviewees with interviewers fast enough - if everyone could try to record the assorted TV news tonight, that'd be great, particularly if you have a DVD recorder and/or can do multiple channels!
We'll probably try to drag in Alison Wheeler as a backup UK media contact for *special* days like this. (Alison, you're drafted!) Other suitable UK volunteers who can get away from their desk by day at short notice might be good too.

Well I've been told that I'm "special" a few times in the past, so I guess this is another of those times ;-) Happy to take phoned interviews at minimal notice (have done before, will do again, I guess). In person if they send a car ...
