The hopelessly alcoholic Pitt is thrilled. One of his blogs has been quoted by the lunatic leftist bombthrower Michael Moore. This is Pitt's closest encounter with fame since the memorable bouncy describing his pathetic imaginary advances being rebuffed by Kevin Spacey :

Michaeel Moore quoted my Christmas article in his Christmas message.
And yes, I'm freaking out.

A Merry Christmas to All
By Michael Moore
Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas (or a Merry Everything) and hope you are all well today.
Here's a good thought from the writer William Rivers Pitt:
"Before Santa and presents and shopping and all the attendant Christmas (stuff) got involved, this holiday was enshrined to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another. If you have two cloaks, He said, give one away. Remember those who have less than you, be charitable, be good, be merciful."
Hear, hear.

The original: http://www.truth-out.org/all-i-want-christmas66195
Freaking. Out.
This only goes to show how far out on the irrelevant lunatic fringe Michael Moore truly is. He reads truth-out!?!
Poor, stupid Beth, chiming in from her mom's little camper out there in the dark California desert, is excited by the drunkard Pitt's brush with celebrity. The closest poor, stupid Beth has come to celebrity was drug addict Doug, the comedy club failure.

8. K&R you famous guy,
I knew ye when ye wasn't nothin'. Well actually I didn't but that's fun to say. Congrats, and merry Christmas Day to you and yours.
Don't get too excited, DUmmy Lasher, Pitt is still just another unemployed alcoholic living off his mother.

I should have looked at the OP... Michael Moore quoting William Pitt in a TruthOut.com article. It's a trifecta of brain damage.

You are right! Great catch!
Douglas Adams: "two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people"
Alcoholic Pitt: "to commemorate a guy who got nailed to a tree for daring to tell people to be kind to one another"
DUmmies have been tombstoned for plagiarism, but only for plagiarizing another DUmmy. But if a lurking DUmmy wanted to get al ittle street cred at the DUmp by blowing the whistle on Pitt, it would be great.

FIFY. And the fact that Fat Boy doesn't even recognize it makes it all the more hilarious.
Too bad Mr. Adams wasn't still alive to sue...oh, the irony.

Would like to have a word with you for plagiarizing his word, if he wasn't dead. For shame, Mister Pitt. For shame.
Oh, shit.

So the drunken plagiarist admitted his plagiarism as if it were nothing, and then tried to start a conversation about football. That in a nutshell illustrates Pitt's writing talent.

Yeah, right, the primitive "refuses" to put up the link.
The primitive knows that by putting up a link to here, the primitive's put down by my fellow alum.
There's a difference between "refuses to" and "dares not."

I'm having a hard time finding where it says to forcefully take someone else's extra cloak, give it to another person, and then claim credit for your "good" deed.
Now, if you really want to have a discussion on charity, get off your f'n high horse and let's HAVE a discussion on charity:
Conservatives More Liberal Givers (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html)
...because charity isn't taking from one, to give to another. That is theft, plain and simple.

Actually, I find it hysterical that they fall all over themselves for the self-absorbed bullshit artist, but I'm hardly surprised.
He may have been the cat's piss-soaked pajamas in college, but stealing from a writer as talented as Adams, then being so deficient of character as to brag about it and take a ****ing bow just screams sociopath, does it not?
-
I loathe plaigarism. It certainly reveals many things about the plaigarist:
* Doesn't possess an original thought in their empty gourd
* Lazy
* Lacking in ethics or honor
* One of those assholes who take credit where none is due. We've all worked with one.
And then when they're caught, they just brush it off arrogantly, "oh well, great minds think alike." Go to hell, asswipe.
Joe Biden has had brushes with plaigarism in the past, I'da thought it might have been costlier for him politically, but I guess not.

Shit, Michael Moore?!?!? I respect the colossal asswipe for having found an audience for his shit. Meanwhile, the Bostonian Drunkard can only sit on his barstool, steal from better, more talented writers and pretend that things are somehow far better than they really are.
I, for one, am content to be able to look myself in the mirror each morning and feel some amount of pride for having produced something without fear of being called out as a plagiarist.

Well, last I heard he had started a career as a part time bouncer in a bar, apparently stealing the famous Ty's job. I doubt an alcoholic bouncer lasts very long, though.
To be considered an actual writer, I think one must be paid for it. DUmmy Pitt has surely never been paid a dime by that "truthout" blog, and his books were vanity deals paid for by his mother. Everyone posting here, even vestanumbers, has as much claim to being called a writer as DUmmy Pitt.

Despite certain marked similarities in their style, I would have to say that Pitt's writing is marginally the more readable of the two. Possibly he plagiarizes her as well.

OK, there is a fairly huge amount of awesome in this post. (thread title)
People in Boston shovel out parking spots and put furniture/cones/dressers/whatever in the spot to "save it." This guy apparently put a chair in someone else's shoveled-out spot...so this person got their chair stuffed into a snowbank, with a little note attached. Awesomesauce.
You scroll down and there's a handwritten sign saying:
You didn't shovel this spot out at 5 am I did. Then you moved our cone, therefore your chair means dick."
Followed by the ROFL stupid little smiley they have.
Several fawning replies, such as

1. That's a very polite FU letter!
First of all, "awesomesauce?" Second of all, a lame story. You'd think a Pulitzer-quality author would be able to tell a riveting tale.

I'm sure you've already guessed, but the DUmmy plagiarist Pitt stole his "awesomsauce" comment. An alcoholic haze makes original thought impossible, even for a great mind like Wee Willie.

They must be talking about "Southie", South Boston. I worked there for 15 years and saw this first hand.
It gets pretty nasty if someone "takes" another person's "spot". Fistfights are not uncommon.

Cujo lives in Hampton and works at a parking lot at Logan IIRC. A couple more who's monikers I don't remember love in the Brentwood, Norwood area.

You're right. Dummy Plagiarist Pitt has lost the teflon coating of celebrity he once enjoyed at the DUmp, though he still has a small fawning group of sycophants who are way too stupid to recognize his silliness. Pitt really screwed the pooch with the Fitzmas scoop he unwisely stole Leopold, and then his increasingly morbid alcoholism began making him nearly incoherent. I think Skimmer and the arrogant Lord Marblehead see the plagiarizing Pitt as an increasingly embarrassing irritant.

I am beginning to think you are exactly right about that. The dump is really quite a coup for the DLC. They give the malcontents a convenient forum to fret and fume, pump them for any extra dough they may have, then marginalize them. I mean talk about a WIN-WIN. The dummies sow the seeds of their own destruction while paying $kimmer for the privilege.

Before Adams died, he went full-on Envirowacko, so I suspect there is an issue involving which person to offend - the plagiarized Adams, or the defender of Adams -Who Pitt admitted was correct -
