Absolutely. And I'm quite sure Debbie hasn't applied for a copyright
anyhow. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ66.html

Besides, there are some things you can't copyright, like "Works that

consisting entirely of information that is common property..."

She's just an ignorant bitch of a troll who likes to spam her joke
book in irrelevant newsgroups. A boil on the ass of Usenet.
