While Fred Dooley seems to have stopped appropriating the content from other web sites and news organizations, his blogging partner in crime, Mac President Brett Healy, appears to have missed the memo, copying this article from the Chicago Trib word for word on the Mac's blog.
Again, this is theft and inappropriate by any journalistic or academic standards, hardly befitting the work product of an institution that purports to be a "think tank."
The MacIver Institute has gotten off to a rocky start in the few weeks it's been up and running. Think tanks are supposed to provide food for thought. When the best think tanks are on fire in the kitchen, their meals are insightful, sometimes surprising affairs that please the palate in new ways while sticking to the ribs. Thus far MacIver's product has been predictable and pedestrian -- it's the fast food of think tanks.

It's merely a vehicle for right-wing bloggers to be paid. What's worse, as you point out, is they steal the work of other people as evidence of their productivity.
Nicely done, Chief. The comparison is right on the money.
By the way, you wouldn't happen to know what part of the chicken the McNuggets come from, would you? I've always wondered...
It's mostly lips and peckers, I think.
