Seeing double?
UPDATE: Folks say that it was inadvertent error on the part of the MJD, and that the editorial ran on the wire and got picked up. No harm, no foul.
You don't want to say plagerism, but someone needs to point this out.
Flack at Tondee's Tavern has a link to a Marietta Daily Journal editorial.
Here is the Athens Banner-Herald's editorial on what to do with the state surplus that ran on July 17 ... and then here is The Marietta Daily Journal's take on it that appeared at their web site with no attribution today.
Call me crazy, but those are the exact same editorials. Now, granted, I've worked at a newspaper and lots of things run on the wire, but the way it appears on the web site for the Marietta paper is that this is something which is their work ... and it definitely ain't.
I mean, Flack says it's the work of the MJD, so it's obvious some confusion is going on out there.

Marietta's column excised the mention of Athens-Clarke. Huh.
If you back out to the MJD.com site and go back to it's opinion section, it shows an image of the print paper.
Very interesting. And a good catch dude.
I'll dig around some more.
