Smart Bitches and the Great Debate that even you non-romance lovers have heard about by now
I believe that everything that ever could be said has been said about this topic, but since even my non-romance-reading friends and family have suddenly popped up to tell me that they heard about it, I thought I’d post this hilarious summary of the Great Debate. It’s really all you need to know.
Oh, and the Smart Bitches are Goddesses. I worship the ground they walk on, and even if you don’t read romance novels they are funny as all get-out.
This just in: Nora Roberts has come to the aid of the black footed ferrets, as written about in Defenders of Wildlife Magazine and plagiarized by Cassie Edwards. She will match up to $5,000 donated by readers of Smart Bitches to the Defenders of Wildlife nonprofit and you can contribute by following the directions here.
I never followed Nora before, but she has really impressed me during this whole debacle. Sign me up for the WWND fan club!
And another thing: I designed this and uploaded it to cafepress after Bitchery reader Julianna first suggested a “Ferrets Against Plagiarism” tee-shirt. I was inspired. And I can’t spell to save my life. :(

Hey Ciara – can I use your image as an avatar on a message board?
I can’t add your link in the av itself, but I can put a link to your cafepress store in my sigfile on the board. :-)
