While in DC, we visited the Newseum, a museum dedicated to journalism and how the profession creates history by telling the story. Despite that terrible pun, I really enjoyed the experience. They Newseum features loads of artifacts from United States history, from an original first year copy of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette to the whiteboard the Tim Russert wrote "Florida! Florida! Flordida!" on during the last election.
While education, informative, and fun, the whole place is also very heart wrenching. Most of the news stories represented (like most news) were sad. Particularly emotional was the wall of hundreds of newspaper front pages from September 12th, 2001.
Feeling wretched, we found solice with the interactive touch screens that allowed us to dial-up Reagan getting shot outside the Washington Hilton. Because of Buckweat, that famous clip always makes me laugh.
