1. Yeah. It's Frigging Hilarious Stuff.
To think, there are morons in this country who actually buy into this shit.

What sad little lives they lead.

Go to the entries for "dinosaur," "Fox News," "partial birth abortion" and "quiverfull" and you see all that you need to see.

5. OH NO!
They are deleting entries left and right, mostly right (*wink*), because they are being hacked!

Here is the current entry for Fox News:

Fox News was started in 1996 by Rupert Murdoch in response to the other cable news channels which he believed to all have liberal biases. Fox News claims to be "Fair & Balanced"<1> a claim which it has largely failed to back up by having shows like Hannity & Colmes, in which Sean Hannity does 90% of the talking, while Colmes says absolutely nothing and liberal guests are shouted down in a very Roman Circus-like fashion. Fox News, in the most mindbogglingly ironic way imaginable, characterizes itself as reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide. <2>.

Fox News has dominated the ratings of other cable news shows among lower-class whites. Possibly because they report in a way that is more ultraconservative then most news channels and because they constantly felate George W. Bush, a strategy condemned by anyone with any common sense whatsoever. Fox News prides itself on reporting on "good news" from Iraq, and as such, Fox News doesn't talk about Iraq very often. Fox News was the first and only US cable news company to use the term "homicide bombing" to describe attacks by Arabs and Palestinians on Israelis. Unfortunately, Fox News hasn't made much mention of Israeli atrocities toward Palestinians, which are numerous and detestable, but it doesn't matter anyway because GOD gave that miserable patch of desert to the Jews, right? Right?

In 2005 the White House selected Tony Snow from Fox News to be the new White House press secretary.<3>

The network has come under attacks from Liberals and moderates since its inception, for being so ridiculously hypocritical concerning their obvious bias.

7. No, It Isn't.

Then again, they have been stacking the federal courts with * apologists and JesusFreak sympathizers...

"That includes your employer and your local prosecutor." That shows what total morons they are. What in the hell would a person's employer have to do with anything, unless the person posting was stupid enough to use his or her work computer?

I'm self-employed. Who will they report me to...me? Morons.

4. Some lunatic schlafly
was on All Things Considered yesterday discussing this. The very polite, courteous host was asking him creampuff questions about conservapedia and giving him ample room to make an ass of himself. Mission accomplished. It does point out the dangers to our country of people who believe stuff who have no desire to know stuff.

6. Register at the site, and make up your own shit
The folks at Conservapedia are ot-nay oo-tay ight-bray, if you know what I mean. And they have so few entries right now, that you can post all kinds of hilarious stuff pretty much with impunity. I'd suggest reading about a month's worth of Jesus' General, patriotboy's weblog, for the flavor of how to make entries that will sail right over conservatives' pointy little heads, but provide us with endless mirth.

Have fun!

8. "A banana is a tropical fruit whose perfect design
is seen by some, including TV's Kirk Cameron<1>, as offering proof of an intelligent designer."

WTF?

10. I'm Trying To Hack It...
...but it is such a poorly designed site, it keeps giving me error messages stating that I do not have cookies enabled, when I clearly do.

We should write some entries of our own here so that a couple of brave souls can upload them.

I volunteer to do an entry on the Duggar family.

14. Look what the article about the Chimperor says....
I almost vomited:

Though the liberal media continues to disparage Bush's handling of the economy, they often neglect to report the many aspects of the economy that Bush has improved. For example, during his term Exxon Mobile has posted the largest profit of any company in a signle year, and executive salaries have greatly increased as well <5>. This is due to changes in the stock market that lead to a record high in 2006, recovering from the Clinton years which lead to the lowest point of the stock market in January 2000 AD since the great depression of 1929 AD, and "Companies are churning out double-digit profit growth" currently.<6> Even the working class is benefiting from the Bush economy, as unemployment hits an all time low in March 2007.<7> Bush worked with Democrats to raise the minimum wage to a more livable level.<8>

18. What's really creepy is - 17 kids, they look almost exactly alike.
No genetic differentiation whatsoever. Very creepy. Their family tree must be a stump. :scared:
