IMAO made the New York Times thanks to this post from Ducky. It was actually the reader comments that get quoted (such as one from K T Cat), so credit goes to all ronin. Of course, being the NYT, they tied our humor into Abu Grahib, but watcha gonna do?
(hat tip to reader Mike T.)
Cool but they really should have linked to you. They must be cowards unlike President Bush who is a baseball legend like Babe Ruth.
What’s the jist? I refuse to sign up for their website. They can eat a bag of hell.
I’m falling out of my chair here! What a great story. Thanks for linking back to the ‘Post, too. You didn’t need to do that and I really appreciate it.
I reordered my posts to put a very important one at the top. Check it out. You won’t believe it.
(hat tip to reader Mike T.)
Wait, Mike T. reads the NY Times?
Get the traitorous bastid!!!!! He should be considered lefty until proven sane.
That’s pretty cool. They could’ve linked to the site, though.
Congrats to IMAO and KT Cat! I hope the Times readers are tougher than Ron Paul babies! We eat those.
The NYT piece is pure drivel, but it’s better drivel than Paul Krugman or Maureen Dowd writes.
Sarcasm man. I argree with you.
Did I just say that?
Sniff,sniff, – I’m so proud of y’all!
I wonder if this means we’ll see trollery of the Dowd-following type here now.
I guess in order for them to link to IMAO, Frank & the crew need to run a scathing ad about General Petraeus for someone else at a bargain-basement price.
Way to go K T. Congrats!!!
Sweet, now I am internet famous.
I’m proud to leach off the hard work of others.
Hoooray for RWD!!
And that KT character too.
Once again RWD gets the first AND the last laugh.
Decent article, saying basically what I thought when I first heard Rowling’s statement. Once the story is published, the character has been defined and exists on its own and the author loses her ability to make changes. Sorta reminds me of that Pirandello play “Six Characters in Search of an Author.” Or my high school English teacher: “It doesn’t always matter what the author intended, because the reader often sees what he wants to see.”
You rock, Mike. And so does Gary, who did that “Don’t ask, don’t spell” reason for Dumbledore’s homosexuality.
And what the heck… Reason #?: Referred to his wand as “Mr. Hat” before leaving it for “Mr. Twig”.
Hey, congrats on making the Big Time!
Of course, is NYT the Big Time anymore? YMMV.
