LITERARY AGENT SUES THE INTERNET FOR BEING MEAN TO HER. NEWS AT 11.
It all started with a list - a list of questionable literary agencies and agents. Unfortunately, someone named Barbara Bauer was on this list. This made her very, very, very, very unhappy. (So unhappy, in fact, she demanded A BILLION DOLLARS from several bloggers for her pain and suffering.) Why, oh why won't they fork over the dough? And why are they laughing? What's a poor, maligned literary agent to do? SUE WIKIPEDIA AND THE BLOGOSPHERE!, that's what. Hmmph. That'll show 'em!

Oops...DISMISSED! Wikipedia, you bastard!

(SRS BZNS ETA: I've received some additional info about the court cases that are still pending, which can be found here)

	Hmmm, I'm not quite getting what you're sayin' here... Do you mean she's mad as a monkey on a trike? An olive short of a pizza? If you stand close enough to her, you can hear the ocean? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down? So dense that light bends around her? Has a one-way ticket on the Disoriented Express? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The twinkle in her eyes is actually the sun shining through her ears? She suffers from Clue Deficit Disorder? Smart as an ashtray on a motorcycle? (Reply to this)(Parent)
