If someone steals your writing, remember to be grateful!

I can't even begin to explain the stoopid.

( But here's an attempt anyway... )

ETA: Now with added feedback and press from The Guardian. Internet firestorm FTW!

Predictably, the Guardian excerpt includes content from someone pointing out "the irony" of the newspaper "lifting" content from

illadore for the article. Except that excerpting with credit is not "lifting" and excerpting for the express purpose of reporting and offering commentary is NOT copyright infringement. FAIL!

Alabama city to destroy Indian mound for retail store

That's right, folks. They're going to destroy a place of archaelogical/anthropological/spiritual importance...to build a Sam's Club.

ETA: There's a protest!

AUGUST 30TH
TWO PM TO FIVE PM (2-5 PM)
at the STONE MOUND behind KOHL'S ON OXFORD EXCHANGE in Oxford, Alabama

(Many thanks to the awesome

gregoria44 for the protest reminder!)

Gawd, the world just gets more effed up everyday.
