So, I was just interviewed by a NYT reporter

[Canuckistanian]

About my post "Words you'll never hear in the Canadian health care system"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8540107&mesg_id=8540107

Apparently, it's going to be part of a NYT Magazine article (or blog post, I'm not sure).

I'll let you all know when the article comes out.

1. My dear Canuckistanian!

Good for you!

That's the big time, baby!

Congrats!

I look forward to seeing the article...

[Canuckistanian]

2. Thanks, CP

It was interesting, more like me teaching her about the Canadian health care system, although her focus was about the words that Canadians and Americans use.

I'd like to see what she does with it.

3. "Canuckistanian, an alleged Canadian . . ."

I can read it now:

"A poster allegedly from Canada, one Canuckistanian is the handle he or she goes by, recently made a post at Democratic Underground, home of left-wing moonbats and People Who Aren't To Be Taken Seriously. In his or her post, Canuckistanian tried to gloss a happy face on the nightmare of socialized medicine that is Canada."

It goes on from there, if you have the stomach for it.

5. We Canadian moonbats are a proud bunch

I was the talk of the collective as I was receiving my monthly ration of beans at the State Supermarket.

15. Did they give you pintos or kidney beans this month...

I really really need some lima beans so the next time those are up for the ration distribution, let me know. I can fake being Canadian, hey.

Congrats, Canuckistan! The crap Americans have to put up with for health care astonishes me continually, wish I didn't have to deal with it.
