Afree thinker.

2. What do you call a plumber who does only pro bono work?

A free sinker.

3. What do you call a septic tank cleaner who does only pro bono work?

A free stinker.

4. What do you call a private detective who does undercover investigations pro bono?

A free slinker.

5. What do you call an Open Trackback Post that anyone can join?

A free linker.

6. What do you call an attorney who does significant amounts of pro bono work?

A myth.

  26. No, I did not cross-post Laws of the Natural Universe at World and Global Politics Blog. The bugger lifted mu blog post, HTML, tags, links, trackposts, and photos without permission. I encourage and support an excerpt or two but everything? I believe this is a splog. It seems the guy also lifted entire posts from Outside the Beltway and others without permission.
