...and for a while there was a Plagiarizing Bastard. For background, see MetaFilter.

Now that they've removed the infringing article from the website I'm of two minds about leaving this post and its snarky Googlebomb link attempt up at all... sure, the page was taken down (not before somebody tried to tell the original author that "You can't copyright anything on the internet"), but that doesn't absolve the Glenn Beck Program of having done it in the first place. The thing about internet publishing is that it's so easy to make things like this disappear into the memory hole... for instance, I've already edited this post three or four times since it went up this morning. Even I don't remember exactly what it originally said.

So, the link stays, at least until somebody over at glennbeck.com checks the referrer log and sends me a threatening letter.

As for Beck's call to replace Michael Moore with George Bush as the top google result for Miserable Failure, no thanks. As much as Michael Moore annoys me, I'd say he's rather more successful at his job than George W. has been.

Welcome MeFi readers, I guess, and thanks to Paul Reeve for pointing out my gross misspelling of the word 'Plagiarizing'. I'm usually better than that - or at least, I usually choose less important words to misspell. Too bad I can't fix the spelling on the trackback.
