"The Washington Post has an article on D.C. bloggers that mentions the success of the Ban the Ban smoking blog."

I'm beginning to think that the Puppyblender[tm] has some weird mental block about mentioning OTB, considering some of the vacuous stuff he regularly links to.

Did you go steal his first girlfriend? Kick his dog? Have him mailbombed?

Speaking of Blogger, it was a temper tantrum my computer and AOL were having over the site that prevented me from sending in my congrats yesterday. Too bad the article didn't give your link and too bad you got lumped in with the Li'l Activists Brigade, but still, very cool.
