6 moments from the Donald Trump rally at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, in 360


What's like to be inside a Trump rally?


Let's take a more immersive look at Sunday's Donald Trump rally at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie. This is, of, course, on top of the gargantuan efforts our staff did on Sunday.

1. That time when members of the press were ridiculously limited and/or properly designated to a confined space and told not to leave, because they might bite and have cuties.



2. That time whUSA! USA!




3. That time there were cameras. Cameras everywhere.



4.  That time Trump touted his ownership of property in the area.



5. That time Tania was not in the press pen, because of course c'mon now.



6. That time Dutchess County Sheriff "Butch" Anderson tried to read a poem.


*I read a poem in public once and I'm glad there is no video of it.*

Important poll finds people would like to do things they can't do

Most Americans would rather read minds than fly, a super poll of super powers conducted by the super people at the super Marist Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie has found. Super.

An equal percentage of people who want to read minds, 28 percent, said in the poll they'd like to travel through time.

Among other super powers in the poll were teleportation and, my personal favorite, "unsure," a super power chosen by 8 percent of Americans, who were probably unsure why they were being asked such questions by the influential polling institution.

But don't ask me. I don't read minds.

Up, up and away!

The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips will appear on Saugerties grad Jimmy Fallon's show Friday night, astrophysicist (?) Fallon has tweeted.

Thanks to a group of students from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, the band will perform Saturday at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.

Freeman reporter Ann Gibbons talked to the band and the students and will have her report for you tomorrow in Preview.

In the meantime, here's some music.

Snookie - the meme

Poughkeepsie native Nicole "Snookie" Polizzi, who grew up in Marlboro and who is one of the stars (?) of MTV's "Jersey Shore," was reportedly booed at Philadelphia's "Wing Bowl."

Worse, she has now become an Internet meme.



God help us all.
