    This was printed where, exactly?

    I have the feeling "Sadie" (or the author) plucked a chain email off the inter-newt, reworked it a little, and submitted it. Oy.
     
  4. If someone finds the chain email it originated from, please post it and I'll send a letter to the editor of all these papers. I guess that'd be the thing to do? Think he'd get in trouble?

    My wife read the column and she said it looked like one of those chain emails, but I didn't think someone would actually have the gall to print it in a column like this. The managing editor of the paper I got this from is just as nuts as this guy, but he writes his own stuff.

    He's got a few stories under that byline. And as to whether or not this originated in some slightly different form online, there's this from his lede:

    I have taken the liberty of paraphrasing and taking some literary license.

    I would pay to read that.

    There's not nearly enough coverage of that atrocity.

    If you give me your bank account number, this can be arranged. I will only deduct a minimal fee for reading the column, and you shall be rewarded 10 times over once my assets are unfrozen.
     
  11. So does that mean he at least gets a free pass on plagiarizing from what looks to be a chain email obviously started by some evangelical reverend who will show up in the papers with a gay prostitute any day now?
     
  12. This thread title broke my heart.
    I've been away from news all day.
