The power of the Corner. Matt Barrie has won in a landslide:

Dear Jonah,
Since you were so nice to post the YouTube link to our son’s
anti-meteor election ad earlier this week, I thought I’d let you know
that not only has it been viewed nearly 1500 times, but Matt Barrie was
elected ASB President in a landslide! The day before the election, when
Matt was feeling a little uncertain and needed some bucking up, I
showed him your “endorsement” post and he was beaming! Thank you so
much for that!

I forwarded this email to my lovely bride. She responded:

That is AWESOME. That kid better wash our car. For free.

I just want to borrow the laser cannons.
