So I write this diary on September 9:

And then Lynn Bartels has a very similar story about the same issue on September 13th in the Nameless Newspaper:

This is the second time this month that the Post has ripped off online reporting without attribution.

To pull this shit repeatedly after attacking Pols, who gave them credit every time, is beyond ridiculous.
is the sincerest form of flattery, don’t ya know.
And if you look at it that way, it will drive you crazy.
Here’s the other way to look at it. You scooped the Denver P.O.S. Good job! You should feel good about that.
“First time coincidence…second time happenstance…the third time, it’s enemy action.”
How can an academic be so clueless about that?
I’d suggest that it’s genetic, but that would insult the poor bastard’s mother. She probably did all she could.
Bad academic manners. What do we call that post-McInnis?
while you insult my mom? Really, Ralphie, you’ve gone so far off the deep end in terms of human decency that I’m not surprised you’re quite comfortable believing you evolved from a monkey.
I just got off yours.

is insulting your mother?
Maybe in Bizarro World.
Beej-when I insult someone, you’ll KNOW it.
that humans evolved from monkeys. (Although I have heard some hypothesize that The Beej failed to evolve from monkeys.)
Maybe you should learn about science from more than Jack Chick tracts.
but my favorite part is where she cites the title and text of your posts, but claims to have “never seen them”.
I was just saying this morning that I didn’t expect a story about minor party status for a month or so. To be fair, Bartels turned the story around to be about the Republicans and did make some calls and get some quotes. Your diary was about the ACP, which I think was actually the more significant point. If the ACP can nominate candidates for any office this could be a really big deal.
…at a minimum, you beat a paid, full-time political reporter on a story her newspaper considered worthy enough to publish.
We should celebrate that as a sign of healthy news competition and yet another indication that on individual stories some of the bloggers on Pols frequently are covering politics and public policy as well as if not better than the dozen+ political reporters at the Post.
