Go away for a few days, and you miss your 15 minutes of fame.

What can I say? I've been extremely busy at work (I have my own law practice) and outside of work as well (I was away at a wedding most of this past weekend), so I haven't had time to do much with this blog in the last 5-6 days. So what do I miss? This blog being cited in a Washington Post article on Warner, and in the first graf no less:

Web surfers at a site called the Democratic Underground think Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner should be their party's next presidential candidate. So does a guy named Steve, who has started a "Warner in 2008" Internet journal. And among political pundits and the soul-searching leadership of the Democratic Party, Warner's name keeps popping up.

This article, the best to date on Warner's prospects (and I don't say that just because I was cited), also adds this on the blog:

Another Web site, warner2008.blogspot.com, went up days after the election. The site's author, who identifies himself only as "Steve," writes enthusiastically about Warner, saying that he "sponsored a NASCAR vehicle, used a bluegrass song as his campaign theme, and managed to retain core Democratic values without alienating rural voters."

Guess I should have identified myself a little more explicitly on the site: "Florida attorney Steve Ferra" would have sounded a little more impressive than just "Steve", but nonetheless I'm flattered by the recognition. To paraphrase Lloyd Bridges in "Airplane!", it looks like I picked a bad week to start neglecting my blog.

P.S.: If anyone has a print copy of the WaPo article, please let me know - I'd love to get one. UPDATE: One's on the way. Thanks, Bob!
