Traveling at Internet Speed

Dear Kari:

With the blogosphere, news stories that might ordinarily rise and fall with hardly a ripple can get a wide viewing. To be honest, I had not even heard of Ted Rall until the controversial cartoon was widely linked to in the blogosphere and widely and properly criticized. When I clicked the link and saw what he drew, I just shook my head wondering: where is your basic decency and humanity?

This matter of human decency leads me to the link I want to share with you and our readers here in the Cincinnati Enquirer which has been linked by blog biggies Drudge and Andrew Sullivan.

As of now, 22 blogs in the Technorati scan have cited the article. I wonder how many will link to the story by the end of the day?
