Really, the far-rightwingers are just spitting out a kaleidescope of accusations against Obama, and seeing what sticks. Never mind that a lot of what they accuse him of was also done by their hero, Reagan, among other Republican presidents.
Darn your sinister attraction!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I certainly got the strong impression that a research paper meant that we were supposed to summarize what other people had said.
Strega, that's true to a certain extent. Because lots of middle school research isn't cutting edge new info, it is the summarization of other information. But, it has to be paraphrased/summarized and, in the words of one of the most recent CWP Analytical Writing Continuum, it needs to be recapitulated with analysis. And that's the essential difference.
Teaching when to cite, in terms of plagiarism is extremely difficult. I often point out that if you information doesn't answer "So What?" Or "this connects to my main idea" then you have to cite it.
And I publicly fail students who don't, using their paper, with the name stripped, in a lesson about what is wrong with plagiariing.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

This was my first thought as well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wonder if this is to try to distract people from the legal question about McCain's citizenship (which, while valid, is also ridiculous).
When I read about that on Snopes I nearly wet myself laughing.
Jeezis, can't we find ANY Amurricans to run?
