Damon Weaver is my homeboy....
Five things I learned from the intrepid fifth-grade reporter Damon Weaver:
1. Self-promote with confidence and purpose.
2. Seek out a mentor figure if you have questions or need advice.
3. Keep your questions clear and to.the.point.
4. When in doubt, embarrass your crew. Impromptu dance moves are a sure-fire win.
5. Remember your audience.
I am now going to perfect holding a microphone at a bizarre 45 degree angle above my head in an awkward yet cute manner for future SarahLacy.com lifecasts. Fact.

To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

This kid's going places. Next time Biden will remember his name and not call him "Jamie". I'm glad he got treated much better here than he did at the McCain rally, where the Secret Service pushed him back. http://tinyurl.com/damonreports
