Damn it. To think I spent an hour writing and researching that to make sure I got it right, and I could have just ripped Myerson off.

[Mr. Bubbles]

have you considered using google alerts?

[Brian W. Schoeneman]

Why? I don't read his stuff. Heck, I don't read the Post opinion page in general anymore anyway. With Broder gone, there's not much reason to.

[Mr. Bubbles]

yeah but it helps with the plagiarism j/k

Hey, hey, hey - don't go throwing the P word around. People will start calling me Joe Biden.

[Mr. Bubbles]

or ken buck.

while I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, I actually had to pull up the WaPo page because at first I thought I was reading the exact same article.

And the point is....?

Unions of a century ago were very different from those of today. The biggest problem with unions is that, having won, they have to push for more and more and more to justify the dues.

[Mr. Bubbles]

right warren. Because looking over data from the last 10-15 years it's obvious that worker's rights and pay are only getting better.

Mr. B, c'mon. I started a political campaign a week ago. The last thing I'm going to do is throw away my credibility by plagiarizing an article from the WaPo. Give me a little credit for not being that dumb.

[Mr. Bubbles]

scroll up brian. I said I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt (meaning I believe your explanation). You're dumb (otherwise you wouldn't be a republican) but I know you're not that dumb. However, as you know from your blog, I'm still going to have a little bit of fun with this. Welcome to the nfl buddy :)

It's nice that people like "Mr. Bubbles" represent the NFL-level that Schoeneman should prepare for.

I'm not concerned about the criticism - it's pretty clear that we wrote different pieces. I'm just annoyed because I really liked what I wrote. :)
