7. "Plagiarism is perhaps the most serious offense...

...that a writer can commit or be accused of. " -- Jim Brady, Executive Editor, washingtonpost.com

Okay, let's get real. Plagiarism is wrong and embarrassing. But I'd rather read a plagiarist than a liar, and God knows there's been a lot of outright lying and lies of omission in the newspapers over the past few years. Commit yourself to feretting out lies and plagiarism takes care of itself.

5. "Plagiarism is perhaps the most serious offense that a writer can commit "

I would have that falsifying information would be, but that would mean they'd have to fire Cece Connally for her stories about Al Gore and Love Canal, so I guess they can't say that.

11. RedState reaction (funny)

From RedState.com

A small fact. {Paul J Cella}
It would be nice if the precious pedants would recall this fact: The heartless, bitter, grasping attack on Ben Domenech went on for about 48 hours before any charge of plagiarism surfaced. This attack was characterized by an intemperance bordering on derangement; it was sustained by that unique and febrile energy which only men who have made politics their god can muster; and it raced off into the realm of calumny and slander almost as soon as it began.

Re: Idiots {Thomas}
Streiff, no one in his right mind is interested in common ground. I've seen them savage Erick, and now Ben, for their own inability to read, and for their own inability to reason.

They are dead to me. And frankly, if they all dropped dead tomorrow, I'd order a pizza to celebrate.

Emphasis mine. Just loved how there's only a single sentence between criticizing our "intemperance" and celebrating our deaths with pizza. Great guys.
