Here in the States a junior senator has been plagiarizing passages out of Wikipedia during public appearances. That's pathetic as well as a reflection on the state of things, intellectually speaking, over here, but I must say using Wikipedia as a reference always disturbs me as well.

As for what comes next, strap yourselves in and hang on tight.
