Houston Chronicle and Washington Times. Not the Post,
the Times is quite a right wing paper.

Still spreading.

Remember. Copyright message goes on before you create and unleash the ultimate meme

Curious. Did you save the image with Photoshop? If so, it embeds creator info into the image file. If someone re-saves the original and recompresses it all is lost, but if enough people have posted the original version, it could be traceable back to you Kemper. Also, if you have a high-rez, uncompressed version of the same image, you might have some more legal headway if you want royalties.

I'd say this will turn up on T-Shirts in no time (either this exact image or a variation of it).

I didn't even keep the higher res copy as I was just making a silly
joke, I had no idea I was about to create a very fast spreading
meme which I've even seen described as 'the defining image of
the 2004 election'.
