YES!! Houston Chronicle Finally Prints a Clay Article
I am a resident of a city just outside of Houston, Texas -- the 4th largest city in the United States. There are some wonderful Clay fans in Houston that I have met. However, the Houston media does not do the best of jobs in publicizing any Clay news, to my despair. The last few days I have been thrilled to see that so many news organizations have had the article about Clay's appointment by President Bush. No less than 30 probably. However, it was also a tad discouraging not seeing the same article in my city's newspaper, The Houston Chronicle...again.
But this morning, as I skimmed the paper, you'll never believe what I found! "Aiken may be on a panel for White House". All right!! Were my eyes deceiving me? Was I dreaming? No, this seemed to be the real deal! Read on:
Clay Aiken is in line to be named to the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, the White House said. The 27-year-old singer, a native of Raleigh, N.C., who gained fame as a runner-up on American Idol, once worked as a YMCA counselor. The committee advises the President on issues of people with intellectual disabilities.How awesome! Finally, Clay in our newspaper!! Yeah, I would have liked it to be longer and for them to have mentioned his degree in Special Education, his Bubel Aiken Foundation, and his experience teaching children with disabilities, but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Maybe this is a sign of things to come. Houston Chronicle...might there be an article soon about Clay's upcoming CD???

CDD,
Congratulations on the Houston Chronicle article! I read the Greensboro paper online; but I know every time I see Clay in the media, it's a thrill. Hey, I cheered when I saw the appointment news crawling across the screen during our local NBC morning show. *g*
Btw, I discussed the shoddy coverage of Clay's credentials with my former editor. I think we have a bunch of lazy journalists in all media. She pretty much said so, too. Her quote is in my blog.
I'm so glad you printed Cotton's hilarious Insider play-by-play. It's still funny the second or third time through.
Thank you for keeping everyone so up-to-date on the Clay happenings!

Isn't it awesome to see Clay buzzing in the media again, We got it here on our local news in Hanover, Pa. at 5:00 am, that was the sweetest wake up call I every got that early in the morning.
