The ubiquitous Mr. Crowley

By his own admission, energetic labor activist Pat Crowley, a bete noire for conservative Rhode Islanders, had a little time on his hands recently, so he catalogued the number of blog mentions devoted to him on Anchor and the Ocean State Republican. The answer: 47.

Pat, who clearly wears the other side's opprobrium as a badge of honor, asks whether he should at least get a prize. 

In an reverse image kind of way, I was reminded of how a critic of John Conte, the tightlipped former district attorney of Worcester, Massachusetts, once created a Web site documenting Conte's habitual lack of comment.
