Why exactly do you think a story that is related to something currently happening in the marketplace is theft of your story? Is there anything other than the Title that is familiar? Any actuall possibilities of plagarism? You show not one iota of proof about this claim, I have to wonder if you are just trying to get more people to read your work.

Usually when someone's been plagarized they can show the exact words that were their own being use in the exact same context (or almost exactly the same context) as their writings. You do none of that here, or on the multitude of blogs that you have cross-posted this assertion.

I love that the Headline above says definatively that you WERE ripped off, but the body of this blog posting says:

" I have no idea if I was ripped off or not. The information is publicly available. But, timing (three days later) and the similarity in titles makes me wonder."

In the old days when a story and a headline didn't actually match up they called it salacious. I used to be a fan...

Congratulations... really. This is what blogging is all about isn't it? Influence the media, make a difference, change the focus of the news to more relevant topics.

I applaud your efforts.

so you want a cookie ???

The third lesson: The New York Times gets much of their content from liberal blogs. I wonder why.

All the news that's fit to steal.

Congrats, Bonddad, your stock just went up.

Of course bloggers and internet news sites are way ahead of the establishment. You guys aren't constrained in anyway and you aren't beholden to the powers that be and advertisers.

That's their MO

If they spelled the word "establishement", then you have a very strong case.

Now. . . you can feel how the Earl of Sandwich must have felt!

FWIW, I always read your blogs and (I doubt that I am alone) I never read the New York Times. Ms. Judy Miller et al ruined it for me. Perhaps they are trying to scrape up a bit of credibility in advance of a Dem takeover of Gov't.? Funny though that the flagship newspaper of the corporatocracy is out stealing your intellectual property.
