Looking around at AlterNet this afternoon between my last group of the day and some paperwork and I see something odd:
America's Latest Terrorist: Temple Murderer Was Bald White Man with a 9/11 Tattoo
I noted the reference to 'bald white man' and thought "hmmm".
As I looked closer I see the article was penned by one "xxdr zombiexx" at "Daily Kos.
A clock ticks..... a trian wails mournfully in the distance.....
I stare blankly.
Then a light goes off.
:O
O.M.G.
That's ME! I wrote that!
What's it doing here?
Seriously, things like this make me pretty happy, small as it may be.
I often see DKos frontpagers reported over there and the occasional non-FP but otherwise excellent writer posted there. I have always considered it to be something of a badge of honor to be reported at AlterNet.
Which makes it a shocking surprise for me!
They totally refurbed my title, which I guess is OK and normal in the news world - I liked it the way it was.....but I also like being reposted in this manner so I'll just hush my mouth and spread the news.
Just a moment of horn-tooting, then back to the grind at the real job.
Thanks for making it a success, folks - I couldn't have done it alone, no matter what R-Money thinks.
