A few days ago an Native American Cookbook was found with two recipes submitted by Elizabeth Warren where she claims that these were long standing family recipes passed down from he "Cherokee" rooted ancestors.
Two of the possibly plagiarized recipes, said in the Pow Wow Chow cookbook to have been passed down through generations of Oklahoma Native American members of the Cherokee tribe, are described in a New York Times News Service story as originating at Le Pavilion, a fabulously expensive French restaurant in Manhattan. The dishes were said to be particular favorites of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Cole Porter.
The two recipes, “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat” and “Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing,” appear in an article titled “Cold Omelets with Crab Meat,” written by Pierre Franey of the New York Times News Service that was published in the August 22, 1979 edition of the Virgin Islands Daily News, a copy of which can be seen here.
Ms. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Crab with Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing is a word-for-word copy of Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe.
Mrs. Warren’s 1984 recipe for Cold Omelets with Crab Meat contains all four of the ingredients listed in Mr. Franey’s 1979 recipe in the exact same portion but lists five additional ingredients. More significantly, her instructions are virtually a word for word copy of Mr. Franey’s instructions from this 1979 article.
Here we have another example of a Democrat pandering to the multi-cultural multi-racial affirmative action mentality of the left making unfounded claims by creating an exotic (but untruthful) "character" in an attempt to weave a colorful and interesting backstory for herself... and lying through the teeth.
(Insert your "I'm Lady Jazzer and I have almost everyone on "ignore" so I can't read anything on this thread but I'm going to comment anyway and make a fool out of myself" response here _________________________)
Weelllll.....Apparently not.... Apparently Ms. Warren is the VICTIM of right-wing plagiarism ... Who knew?!?!
Elizabeth Warren Falsely Accused Of Plagiarism National Review's Elizabeth Warren Plagiarism Claim Quickly Debunked
National Review writer Katrina Trinko ended up with egg on her face Friday evening after accusing Democratic senate candidate Elizabeth Warren of plagiarism -- a charge that was quickly debunked.
Trinko published an item early Friday evening bearing the accusatory title, "Plagiarism In Elizabeth Warren's 2006 Book." The article, which appeared on the Review's "Corner" blog, made the following claim about "All Your Worth," a personal finance guide Warren published with her daughter:
["All Your Worth"] includes a passage that appears to include parts of two paragraphs directly lifted from a book published in 2005, Getting on the Money Track by Rob Black.
Soon after Trinko's piece went up, Salon's Alex Pareene examined the evidence and came to this conclusion about Trinko's allegations:
The passages line up perfectly. The wording and even the punctuation are identical. It’s plagiarism all right. Except it looks very much like Warren is actually the victim. [Emphasis Pareene's]
In fact, while "All Your Worth's" paperback version was released in 2006, the original hardcover edition first appeared in bookstores in March 2005. Black's book was released sometime later that year. Trinko quickly issued a correction and apology -- noting her confusion over the dates -- and removed the original article from the Review's website.
Dang... More lies, distortions, and jumped-to conclusions by the usual teabaggers... What's the matter guys?...Can't get anything to stick on the wall?

Well... apparently the plagiarized cook book recipes story (more lies and distortions from Warren) has stuck quite well.
Copyright law does not protect recipes that are mere listings of ingredients. Nor does it protect other mere listings of ingredients such as those found in formulas, compounds, or prescriptions. Copyright protection may, however, extend to substantial literary expression—a description, explanation, or illustration, for example—that accompanies a recipe or formula or to a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook.
I had this come up with a community cookbook and an original recipe that I wanted to submit to the Pillsbury cook off. My friends were mad at me for not putting the recipe in there and sure enough a so called friend took my recipe and told everyone it was hers. I looked into it and there is no way to protect recipes just your illustrations. People steal other's recipes all the time, change the name and say it is theirs.
