Sorry to interrupt everyone’s post-demonstration warm and fuzzies, but drop whatever you’re doing and do this:

1) Go to www.kxan.com.

2) Click the right arrow button at the bottom of their media player to cycle through to older stories, then click on the box now on the left: “Northcross Wal-Mart Opponents to Form Human Chain.”

3) Wait for Brewster McCracken’s statement at the 1:20 mark: Northcross will hold the largest Wal-Mart “in the world.”

4) Wait a minute, back that up. (I didn’t know Flash players rewound like that!) Rinse. Repeat.
