A Star Is Born

Salon has a short article about Zach Anner, the guy with cerebral palsy who is competing for a chance to get his own Oprah-approved talk show. Zach has become something of an Internet sensation and has surged ahead in the contest’s vote count thanks to some help from hackers in his fanbase. Now if only the media would stop using the lazy phrase “wheelchair-bound” to describe him. Maybe Zach can do an episode on disability etiquette once he gets his own show. Of course, that will have to wait until after we complete production on our special trip-to-Amsterdam episode.
