Y’know, I have to confess – two weeks ago, when I ribbed the local “Minnesota Netroots Conference”<\/a> – the last <\/em>thing I’d have expected was that any of them would actually be reading me.\u00a0 Partly because, I’ll be honest, my readership among local leftyboggers is pretty darn minimal, and partly because I don’t think a lot of them read outside their own little circle.<\/p>\n

But a reader forwarded me this photo here, apparently taken from a local leftyblogger’s photostream:<\/p>\n

\"14259_610855324329_45801136_36085916_8283331_n\"<\/p>\n

Hm.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, I do feel just a little bit younger, fielding “attacks” that I first fielded in second grade – which was the first <\/em>of the several times in my life I’ve been smarter than all of my critics.<\/p>\n

And it is <\/em>both a more flattering rendition of me than any recent photo, and also nicer than anything my family or friends have called me in twenty years.<\/p>\n

But I have to apologize; when I said that the local leftyblog community didn’t have a better cartoonist than Ken Weiner, I see I was, again, mistaken.<\/p>\n

We can all learn, I guess.<\/p>\n

Cheers, local leftybloggers!<\/p>\n

(I’m no handwriting analyst – but in my mind’s eye, that looks like I’d imagine Robin “Rew” Marty’s flip-sheet scrawl looks).<\/p>\n
