BLERK!

That is all.

An astute summation.

I always aim for le mot juste.

I believe it is curated by Phyllis Schlafly's son, Andrew, which probably tells you everything you need to know about it. Apparently all mentions of his gay brother are summarily removed, despite the fact that said gay brother works for his mother's anti-gay foundation, as far as I can tell because they both oppose gay marriage, because it would further the feminist agenda of destabilizing society. Or something equally logical.

And just when I thought it couldn't get stranger...

Thank you for that.

Created, as I understand it, because Wikipedia was clearly riddled with liberal bias.

Idiocy and errors, yes, on occasion. But I'm not convinced that facts have a liberal bias.

Yeah, well, that's what you think. :) Apparently there are conservatives who are the only people who think Wikipedia's biggest fault is that it's too full of facts.
