We met Cenk Uygur (The Young Turks) In Madison, WI - photos!
My b/f and I went to Madison for the Freedom From Religion convention and happened to run into Cenk Uygur outside the hotel. He was so gracious while we talked his ears off. He was the recipient of this year's The Emperor Has No Clothes award - bringing truth and light to religion creeping into our government. His speech was electrifying and energizing. We had a wonderful time, except it was freakin' COLD!! :)

1. Cenk to the right wing: "You want a culture war? We are ready to engage."
He said it's time to start publicly challenging religious myths and lies armed with intelligence and accurate information.

2. You'll get to say "I knew him when...."
The starmaker, Keith Olbermann, is going to get him his own show and polishes up nicely, so he'll be another of Olbermann's protege's and a damn good one at that.

3. That would be great!
He has a lot of passion for his ideas and his energy is contagious. (Plus...he's kinda cute!)
