In the simple reptilian brain of the common wingnut-birther, Wikipedia is not a user-generated database that anyone can edit — it is, in fact, a wondrous sentient word monster created by God. But God’s creations are often stupid and vulgar, so it’s no wonder that Wikipedia has been pretty conflicted about this whole “Obama’s birth certificate” thing pooped out by the same angry white working-class culture that successfully convinced America the moon landing never happened.

The mean old liberals everywhere are censoring angry wingnuts by not letting the angry wingnuts change any mention of Barack Obama on the Internet into some ALL CAPS dingbat conspiracy theory about how Obama is a secret half-muslin African communist who is not allowed to be president because these wingnuts decided at some point — probably right after they heard he was black — that his entire 47 years of life is an elaborate fraud.

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! That’s all we care about and are very happy to learn that he’s discovered this completely awesome and accurate website. 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! It’s like he’s writing a college history paper’s “background” section in the post-2005 era — by copy-pasting it from any damn website, because who cares. MORE »

Oh golly look at what those rascals at the liberal Democrat party are up to now. They have made a website called “McCainpedia,” a clever play off of “Encyclopedia,” and it is the first website to do this. This site is not funny, and Ageist, and that’s all there is to say about “McCainpedia.” [McCainpedia]

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 »

These are the most viewed topic pages on Conservapedia, which Phyllis’ Schlafly’s son created in response to Wikipedia’s “liberal bias” (source: Wikipedia’s “Conservapedia” entry). As you can imagine, we got about 800 tips for this — 800 glorious tips, that is. [Conservapedia]

Silly Andrew Sullivan didn’t mention shit about Barack “The Face” Obama’s technosavvy “innovation” plan in his stupid Atlantic article, and could The Face be upset? He probably doesn’t care either, but still, his campaign sent out an e-mail furiously titled “EXPERTS PRAISE BARACK OBAMA’S TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION AGENDA” to show us just how cool he is with the technology hepcats.

There are nerds on Wikipedia arguing about politics. [Washington Post]

Rep. Paul Gillmor was found dead at his apartment in his apartment today. Staffers went to his home after the 68-year-old Republican failed to show up for work today. There’s been no official word on cause of death, but some Wikipedia users have a working theory: MORE »
