* snark of the day award goes to TPMM: "The Pentagon is conducting an internal review of how Mitchell Wade's MZM got contracts to work in its top-secret domestic counterintelligence office, CIFA. In citing parts of the MZM story we broke, the story doesn't name us, giving credit to TPMmuckraker.com only as "other Web logs." So we'll just credit this story to (other newspaper)"
btw - i effin hate the term "web logs" - FDL is calling itself a 'weblog' now too. sheesh.
* Domenech is toast! yay, internets! (link, link)
man - god knows what the blogosphere will do to the job market... i presume that i make myself more unemployable every day. the other day i agreed with falwell when he said "Jews and Muslims can't go to heaven" - i said "actually, i agree with falwell - although from a different starting point..." - i presume you all know that i meant that nobody is goin to heaven - but my traffic fell by about half at about that time... whatever. the temptation to pull punches must be enormous for lots of people. no wonder the msm is the way it is.
but back to BoxTurtle Ben- what the hell is it with plagiarism? that's some crazy stuff that i just don't understand. it's kinda dirty - its even worse than stealing physical stuff - i can't quite get my head around it. what the hell goes through your head when you steal someone's words and try to pass them off as your own - especially when you actively re-arrange the words a little to disguise it a little? it's so dodgy. btw - anyone can borrow, steal, copy, paste my work/words without attribution (although attribution is nice) - but i'm not a writer.
the other funny thing about domenech is that he called Coretta Scott King a "communist" on the day of her funeral - this also has everyone up in arms. i have no idea whether she was or wasn't - but that's beside the point. the 'communist' label is somewhere up there with 'sex-offender' or 'liberal' which is really funny

LOL, are you serious? I've noticed that on 'big' news days, my traffic is slower. Unless I'm lucky enough to get linked by one of the big blogs. If I could only have 1/4 of the traffic I get on those days all the time . . .
ah yes. the thrill of a traffic spike.
one day i got 10,000 hits from an atrios link. man - can he move some traffic.
lukery: what the hell is it with plagiarism?
i don't get it either but i do know it's totally stupid to do it on the internets. and you're right--it /is/ kinda dirty mostly cause IMO it's so underhanded and chickenshit--lower than low.
ps, i hate the term 'weblog' as well. i also can't stand 'blog.' yes, i have a LOT of issues, lol.
'blog' i don't mind.
yuo are just cranky, rimone
