My half-second of fame

I'm a big fan of Comedy Central in general, so I've been watching the whole Canton "controversy" from the beginning – when Stephen Colbert casually dissed Canton, Ga., as "the crappy Canton."

And I was watching yesterday when Colbert issued his apology to Canton, S.D., and was thrilled to see a screen shot of the Argus web site in the background as Colbert read off some quotes from our story about the original Canton, S.D., insult (North Dakota's dirty ashtray – hilarious). 

But the most exciting part, of course, was the fact that I wrote the headline that appeared on the screen shot above Colbert's shoulder. Yes, "Comedic spotlight shines on Canton" – that was my handiwork. If only I'd known that was going to be my 0.05 seconds of fame, I would've put more time into it. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.
