John McCain Plagiarizes Common Proper Nouns, Prepositions, And Historical Dates!

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Liberals are very upset with John McCain, again, because it appears he has PLAGIARIZED the famous website Wikipedia in his speech about Georgia and Russia. John McCain is using Wikipedia!

But as some of those rascally bloggers have discovered, McCain used such words and dates as “in,” “of,” “economic,” and “1922″ in much the same sequence that Wikipedia used them in a historical laundry list of facts!

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Hey there, -pedia fans! Do you think that Wikipedia’s too played out and Conservapedia too gay? Then you’ll love Chickipedia, which, as if you don’t know, “is the world’s largest web-based, women-based, wiki-based database of hot chicks on the planet.” Readers input a host of detailed information for each subject, including hookups, hobbies, vices, “dudes she worked with,” and “chicks she worked with.” But while the current user base is good at supplying data on Anna Ortiz and Cameron Diaz and the like, their “Politics” category is sorely lacking! After the jump, we take you through the hellscape, and show you how you can help. MORE »
