Ripples in the Pond

The LA Times keeps a dis­cus­sion board of sorts that cross-references all of the Op Eds. I chuck­led as Tim Cavanaugh posted most of the lib­eral clichés that I missed:

Op Ed: Stephen Harper for­ever!
David Drucker, a lib­eral who headed to Canada after the 2004 elec­tion, pulls over his Volvo, turns down NPR, takes a sip of latté, and rolls up his Utne Reader to announce that even a Demo­c­ra­tic con­gress can’t bring him back from the Great White North.
(dis­cuss…)

It doesn’t sur­prise me how my lit­tle piece of humour seemed to inspire every­thing from more of the same (as above), an angry rant from South Dakota, some really great emails from old friends and com­plete strangers, men­tions in some great blogs writ­ten by friends in San Fran­cisco and Boston, and a few snarky com­ments. I was, how­ever, sur­prised to see that for a short while, the ‘most emailed’ list to the right of the site’s page for a while looked like this:


Most emailed? Gee… Look, Ma, I was a Meme!

Update: More blog men­tions in Boston, and here and here in Van­cou­ver. Cool.
