yeah, just draw your own conclusions...

These are the most viewed pages on Conservapedia, which Phyllis’ Schlafly’s son created in response to Wikipedia’s “liberal bias” (source: Wikipedia’s “Conservapedia” entry). So I guess these are the most popular pages from a conservative bias:


as if all of this wasn't strange enough, according to the site's FAQ, Conservapedia originated as a project for homeschooled children...

keith's special comment on waterboarding and torture

brilliant, as always:

It is a fact startling in its cynical simplicity and it requires cynical and simple words to be properly expressed: The presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy to cover the ass of George W. Bush.

All the petulancy, all the childish threats, all the blank-stare stupidity; all the invocations of World War III, all the sophistic questions about which terrorist attacks we wanted him not to stop, all the phony secrets; all the claims of executive privilege, all the stumbling tap-dancing of his nominees, all the verbal flatulence of his apologists...

All of it is now, after one revelation last week, transparently clear for what it is: the pathetic and desperate manipulation of the government, the refocusing of our entire nation, toward keeping this mock president and this unstable vice president and this departed wildly self-overrating attorney general, and the others, from potential prosecution for having approved or ordered the illegal torture of prisoners being held in the name of this country...

coutergiest wants to take the vote away from women...

...but of course female impersonator coultergiest could still vote, adam's apple and all...

In an interview with the New York Observer, conservative commentator, frequent Fox guest, and alleged plagiarist Ann Coulter left this choice quote, which the Observer highlighted as "On women:"

COULTER: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and 'We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'

and it's DEMOCRATIC president, ann...at least get the name of the party right. oh, and lets not forget that in 2006, coultergiest allegedly violated Florida law by voting in the wrong precinct. The short version, according to The Brad Blog, which has closely followed the ongoing story:

"She committed third-degree voter fraud in Palm Beach County when she lied on her registration. Period. Dead to rights. She also lied on her driver's license down there (another third-degree felony) and knowingly voted at the wrong precinct (first degree misdemeanor). Again, all dead to rights. The link above offers all the proof any attorney with balls bigger than Coulter's would need. And here's her fraudulent Voter Registration form to boot."

exploiting the 9/11 attacks for profit, rudy style

more proof that he is running for president of 9/11, not america:

dateline, washington d.c.:


"The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Chris Dodd said Tuesday a fundraising party for Republican Rudy Giuliani seeking $9.11 each from guests exploits the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks for political purposes.

The Dodd campaign called on Giuliani to refuse the money raised at the event, saying the theme "is absolutely unconscionable, shameless and sickening." A Giuliani spokeswoman said the $9.11 idea was selected without the campaign's knowledge.

"Mr. Giuliani was quick to express much vitriol for the independent ad created by MoveOn.org last week; we would hope he would express the same kind of outrage and indignation about this group that he is the beneficiary of," Colleen Flanagan, a spokeswoman for Dodd, said in a statement released by his campaign."

republican family values: giuliani style

dateline, new york:

so for rudy, family values is more like families values, what with his ex-wife and kids and new wife, judith nathan...but this is one of those stories where the headline says all you need to know about how rudy feels about his family values:

Giuliani, Nathan Leave Early To Avoid Daughter At Her Graduation

the kid's graduating from high school and you don't even say hello or stay for the whole ceremony? those are some family values, alright...i know these ceremonies can be boring, rudy, but if boring ceremonies are not for you, then neither is the presidency. and besides, it's your fricking daughter. oy.

jerry falwell died? so what...

who really cares about that rev. of intolerance who died when there's a new story about coultergeist's voter fraud case? i mean come on kids, get your priorities in order already!

and what makes it all the better is that it now appears that the fbi agent who used his authority to try and clear the junk-toting-stick-figure of wrongdoing is actually female impersonator coutergeist's former boyfriend!

yes, you read that right, former boyfriend...i'm guessing this fbi agent may have gotten his own little personal crying game experience from coultergeist.

bush nominee spouts lasanga of racism

meet henrietta holsham fore, your current undersecretary of state for management!

she has been nominated by the president for the vacant position of "Deputy Secretary of State and Administrator of the US Agency for International Development" (that's s job title). unfortunately for her (and the folks in developing countries that the position is in charge of aid for), someone when ahead and did some actual research and found a racist lecture she gave in 1987 that pretty much hits all the stereotypical racism buttons:

at the time, fore was the owner of a manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, she remarked in a lecture that "she had trouble keeping black assembly-line workers from going 'back to the street to earn more money' selling drugs." Fore had also said "she had found Hispanic workers to be lazy, white workers resentful of having to work with machines, and Asians, while very productive, likely to move on to professional or management jobs."

at wonkette.com, they had an interesting take whites being resentful of working with machines:
We have to give her points for this one, because it’s a racial stereotype we have never heard before. Maybe that explains why we hate these fucking computers so much?...Barack Obama said, “I’m troubled by the lack of clarity.” What’s not clear, Barry? Holsman-Fore says Blacks prefer to make more money selling dope, Mexicans are lazy, Asians are crafty and white people hate robots.

on a side note, the reason the position was vacant? yep, that guy who was a huge abstinence-for-foreign-aid in afica advocate that was also enjoying the services of a d.c. madam is the one who needs replacing.

republican debate fun: "it'd...it would be ok."

yeah, ten rich white men all trying to be ronald reagan. there's some damn sad tv. however, there was one interesting exchange on, of course, abortion. see if you can find the two formerly pro-choicers:

Moderator: Starting with you, Governor, would the day that Roe v. Wade is repealed be a good day for America.
Gov. Mitt Romney: Absolutely.
Moderator: Senator?
Sen. Sam Brownback: It would be a glorious day of human liberty and freedom.
Moderator: Governor?
Gov. Gilmore: Yes, it was wrongly decided.
Moderator: Governor?
Gov. Huckabee: Most certainly.
Moderator: Congressman?
Rep. Hunter: Yes.
Moderator:Mayor?
Rudy Giuliani: It'd...It would be OK.
Moderator: Congressman?
Rep. Tom Tancredo: After 40 million dead because we have aborted them in this country, I would say that that would be the greatest day in this country's history when that, in fact, is overturned.

...and it's nice to see sen. brownback is brining iraq talking points to other issues as well.

jeff gannon is baaaaaaaack

wow. when you think of who would be a good spokesman for the the International Bible Reading Association, i bet former gay escort/white house correspondent (cause why can't you do both, really?) jeff gannon wouldn't be in your first million guesses.

it's funny because it's true...yesterday's national day of prayer bible reading marathon in d.c., saw the return of hotmilitarystud.com himself. dana milbank of the washington post had a few thoughts:

Jeff Gannon, spokesman for the host, the International Bible Reading Association. Gannon, actually a pseudonym for James Guckert, had earned fame in 2005 representing a conservative Web site at White House briefings until it was revealed that he posted nude pictures of himself on the Web to offer his services as a $200-an-hour gay escort.

Let us pray for the power to understand how Gannon made his way from HotMilitaryStud.com to the International Bible Reading Association.
at least milbank didn't attempt some crude pun by saying, "let us bow our heads...." that would have been unfortunate.

limbaugh: criticism of alberto gonzales is racism?

keith hit the nail on the head in pointing out the delicious hypocrisy of limbaugh accusing almost anyone of racism during his 'worst person in the world' segment last night:

And the winner: Comedian Rush Limbaugh. Claiming criticism of Attorney General Gonzales... is racism.

"So you have the first Hispanic-American attorney general -- a minority -- under fire by white liberal racists in the Senate."

Like Senator Salazar? Senator Salazar is racist against Hispanics? This from
a guy who insisted Liberals were exaggerating DonovanMcNabb's skills because they wanted to see a black quarterback succeed... This from a guy who has happily called Barack Obama a quote "Halfrican-American."

Comedian Rush Limbaugh: Today's Worst Person In The World.

zell miller has all the answers

zell miller, the former democratic senator from georgia and current foxpert (fox news 'expert'), whom you may remember for coming out agaist kerry in '04, challenging chris matthews to a duel, speaking for the president at the republican national convention, and foaming at the mouth over and over while slamming his own party, has once again come out with quite the interesting statement. no, he's not challenging anyone else to a duel or calling john kerry "more wobbly than any other national figure." instead, he claims to have discovered the reason why social security is in trouble, illegal immigration is up, and why the armed forces are in desperate need of additional members. i'll let zell explain his magical answer in his own words (Miller was speaking at a fund raiser for Save a Life Center of Macon, Georgia, an organization which tries to persuade women not to have abortions):

"How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed...[if these] children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security."

you know senator, there may be another reason no one dares to mention it: because it's stupid. stupid and misleading. but, what do i know? i mean, zell is certainly not wobbly like that filp-flopper kerry.

"Leave it to the woman, her God, and her doctor." - zell miller

what? zell used to be pro-choice? wow. and he compares an aborted fetus to dred scott? yeah, thanks for that really bad historical comparison, zell. a black person is like a fetus. sounds like the level of debate i'd expect from a foxpert.

gingrich admits affair

human muppet imitator newt gingrich, yesterday admitted to having an affair while married to second wife (he's on wife #3 now) and while he was speaker of the house. why do i care? well, remember kiddies, this guy was discussing divorce with his first wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery, so he's a real class act. anywho, i really do not care about newt's personal life or who he's sleeping with (the thought makes me cringe), but the hypocrisy of cheating on his wife at the same time that he's leading the charge against clinton for his affair with the lewinsky is simply delicious. moreover, newt made the confession of his infidelity in an interview with dr. james dobson's conservative christian focus on the family.

"There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards," gingrich said. why stop with god, newt? you've fallen short of many, many, other standards, too.

conservatives give gay porn star an award

ok, so y'all may remember hearing about the CPAC conference last weekend where coultergiest made her homophobic slur against john edwards. well, one more interesting little tidbit has arisen from that gathering of *cough* conservatives. it turns out that Matt Sanchez, a 36-year-old Columbia student and Marine Corps reservist, who has been all over fox news in the past cause he claims he was mocked about his military service by folks at Columbia, has also gone by the name "Rod Majors" in such cinematic triumphs as Jawbreaker, Donkey Dick, and Glory Holes Of Fame 3. yep, he's a former gay porn star (and male escort, as it turns out...but no business with the fabulously rev. ted haggard has turned up yet).

so why was he at the CPAC conference, you ask? well, aside from his past cozying up to coultergiest, hannity, o'reilly, gingrich, malkin, and other conservatives after he spoke publicly on his experiences at Columbia (bashing one of the evil eight will get you on fox news, no problem), he was being presented with, wait for it...an award. the CPAC’s Jeane Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award.

all that along with the gay-bashing remarks of colutergiest at the conference, makes this photo of Sanchez and coultergiest all the more wonderful...feel free to insert your own thought bubbles.
