But in light of the latest discoveries about her apparent plagiarism, perhaps it's all more conscious than unconscious after all.

The first sentence is not mine; I took it from some blog post entitled "Plagiarize This" which seems, oddly, to no longer be up - or maybe the author corrected the spelling of "plagiarism," as I've now done. The link to the <i>Washington Post</i> was in that sentence to begin with and was stolen too. And, the title of this blog post is an appropriated <i>Harvard Crimson</i> headline. If I did write anything original in that post, believe me: It was completely unconscious. I feel that I need to answer these accusations of originality right away.
