What is all this talk about Obama and plagiarism

Posted by rscme on February 19, 2008

All day long, in the news, on talk radio, all I heard was how Barack Obama had plagiarized Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts.

Back off right-wingers. Mr. Obama used similar words like “yes we can” that Deval used in speeches. So did Hillary. Well let me ask you, how many times have you said the words “yes, we can”. It is so ridiculous to me for anyone to take a phrase like that and try to make something out of it that isn’t there. It must be a slow news day and conservative talk radio needs some Democrat to malign and complain about.

And if they really want to compare, let’s talk about how all of the conservative talk radio hosts get their “talking points” memo every day from god knows who; the Republican National Committee, Rush Limbaugh himself, the White House. I know it’s not W because he can barely speak English, let alone put together a talking points memo.

But if you want to accuse someone of plagiarism, how about talk radio hosts themselves. Did you flip through the talk radio stations last week when every single one of them said the exact same thing: “McCain is not a real conservative”, “McCain is not a real conservative”, “McCain is not a real conservative”. I know those words were never uttered out of my mouth, how about yours.

Give me a break.  Can we see through this smoke screen?  YES, WE CAN.

Blog Etiquette

Posted by rscme on February 19, 2008

I must admit that I have no idea if there is actually a set of blog rules in terms of what is proper when visiting blogs.  When I am cruising around the net and notice that someone has taken a lot of time to put together a good blog, regardless of whether or not I agree with all the opinions out there, I try to leave a note that I stopped by and leave a quick thank you.

Sometimes I’m looking for specific information, sometimes for something funny, and sometimes I’m doing research or trying to figure out what’s going on in the minds of the bloggers.  It can be quite interesting; the quantity of blogs and the specific subjects that blogs are written about.  Again I must admit that some of them, I don’t understand at all.  But someone has put a lot of time and energy into that blog.

So if you happen to stop by one of my blogs, please feel free to leave a quick note to say hello.
