Buffalo News:

UPDATE: Hundreds of demonstrators are scattered in several different areas of the Capitol as of 3pm. A group of state university students have jammed the Million Dollar Staircase [#172], while other groups have formed outside the Assembly and Senate chambers holding signs [#8] and shouting at lawmakers [#32]. The Assembly has stopped passing budget bills until 6pm while lawmakers await the two biggest and most controversial bills: school aid and health care funding.

Good!

i've randomly followed a few tweeters, but haven't taken the time to choose the best - looks like you found a good one.

would be nice for occasions like this if the twitter block could follow hashtags - is that a definite impossibility, or just something you haven't had time to look into yet?
