Bush Sued for Plagiarism:

[sasha031]

Orwell could have a case against Bush

Lawyers for the estate of George Orwell have announced their intention to sue President Bush for plagiarism.

"We have long believed that this administration has stolen much of its policy from Mr. Orwell's writings," said attorney Will Bilyalotz. "Expressly, '1984' and 'Animal Farm.' In some cases, like the illegal surveillance of its own citizens, this administration has lifted the passages word for word from '1984.' Just changing the year doesn't protect the president from copyright laws."

1. brilliant

So if writers get to work, and project all possible criminal and supid moves of
government, then a pack of copyrights could protect us from immitation, leaving
only wise governance... :-)

3. I like this!

It has so many resonances. Not only does Schimpanski adore Big Brother, he can't even come up with a program of oppression on his own, but has to poach on the literary legacy of a long-dead Brit.

Perfect!
