meme. this word is rampant in political blogs these days, and I'm wondering if there's some information about its use; when it started making the rounds, etc. it seems a useful little word, but people are beginning to express their displeasure at seeing it. thoughts?

I think it's a good concept and should be worked with. It's bound to spawn some whacked notions; whether Ms. Blackmore's is one of these, I couldn't tell, but we'll never know if we reject it out of hand.

No, no, I knew you'd get my (very) implicit doff of the hat. I figured it wasn't worth endangering your reputation by publicly outing you as a pun-maker.

Your puns are good, it's just that I had the impression that, here at least, you sought to project an anti-pun stance. I didn't want to jeopardise that by revealing your facility at making them.
