Variety Managing Editor Ted Johnson blogs at Wilshire and Washington that one of the men arrested in what was first thought to be a plot against Barack Obama was staying in his hotel — and even jumped from a window on his floor, the sixth. "We've been talking quite a bit about this, given that the hotel is where reporters for the Washington Post and Newsweek also are staying," Johnson posted. "All of this took place overnight --- I now have to admit my own embarrassment for being fast asleep through it."

Cross-references: Johnson and the Daily News' Greg Hernandez give mutual shouts-out to each other on their convention blogs. Hernandez is there covering the celebrity and gay angles for the Daily News (and I guess sister papers) and admits, "What can I say? I'm having an absolute blast this week in Denver."
