welcome to the party

righteous indignation and requisite glasses

Oh, honey, I know! Isn't it just awful?

That's why I started marching all the way back in 2009.

without all due respect

A photograph of me (taken by my husband, with my iPhone) has been saved and reproduced by a member the GunUp Blogger Network and 2011 winner of the Luckygunner Up & Comer Gunnie Award. I'm sure he thought himself clever to title his post "Breda Porn" and began salivating over all the traffic, and resulting blog revenue, certain Google searches might bring him. In short, he is using my copyrighted material for monetary gain, without my permission.

And now, if that's not bad enough, my photograph is one of the first things people will see if they search for that specific term (please don't) - something I find totally unacceptable.

I have asked that this blogger remove the post because I daresay he wouldn't blog a photo of his mother, his sister, his daughter or his wife under a similar title. Yet my (multiple) requests have been ignored. My husband Mike left a comment on the post expressing his displeasure, but it seems to have been deleted.

So. What to do?

Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.

Seems Althouse has gone kerflooey due to the Great Blogger Blargle of 2011 (more commonly known as Breda's Mini Vacation) and things being what they are on the internet, some of her fans are convinced that the powers-that-be at Google have some sort of vendetta against her because she is such a powerful conservative blogger.

But...Ann Althouse voted for Obama.

You'd think they'd have had her blog enshrined with its own personal server by now.
