Irony alert

Via Jim Treacher: The last post:

I realised just how much momentum our project to match concerned non-Americans with voters in a marginal US county had acquired when I arrived in Shanghai on Sunday to be handed a message from a local reporter. I rang back expecting a few desultory questions about why a group of Guardian journalists were visiting China but the reporter had a bigger story in her sights: 'Is it possible to make interview about Operation Clark County?' (There was no sign in her voice of the mild irony with which we had chosen the project's quasi-military name.)

I hope the Chinese reporters do report on it. Of course the Chinese would never try to meddle indirectly in someone else's election.
