Did you know that there is liberal bias at Wikipedia? The editors at Conservapedia most certainly do, and to  get the word out they have helpfully compiled a list of over 160 examples.  Here are thirteen of my favorites with the occasional comment added for amusement and/or clarification.

EXAMPLE: Wikipedia uses trivia to push its liberal icons on readers. In its first 200 words about conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Wikipedia includes the meaningless trivia that he was born on the same day as (liberal) Jimmy Carter. Yet nowhere in Carter’s entry does it say he was born on the same day as Rehnquist .

I think Stinquers will agree with me that it is difficult to think of a more nefarious example of leftist bias than ruining Rhenquist’s special day by needlessly brining Carter into the conversation (while sparing Carter a similar indignity, no less!!!). Read more »

We joke about the beer money, but there’s only one reason we run Google ads on the site. By unanimous decision, the Airline Career Pilot Program just won August.

First, it was Jesse Ventura.  It must be said: for an ex-professional wrestler, he didn’t do too poorly.  In fact, the dude has some facets that make me like him somewhat.  (Of course, in twenty years, he’ll probably be cranky as hell and go to the right of where, say, Tom Tancredo is now.  Crankiness is a symptom when you catch a serious case of Old.  But, for right now… he and I are cool.)

Now: it’s Linda McMahon, who may just be the next senator from Connecticut.  Lots of ways you can go with that.  To be charitable, we can say that WWF/WWE is a business that was actually successful during her reign (or, honestly, her co-regency with her husband, Vince).  Compare this to, for example, HP.

We passed on the Shocking! Sarah Palin Disses Teacher! video Monday because, well, it didn’t seem as Shocking! as advertised. Supposedly she Rolls Her Eyes! when the teacher identifies her profession, which was taken as an affront to anyone who has to babysit a bunch of insolent runts five days a week.

But, as often happens, the Cover-up is proving more entertaining than the Crime.
