"Conservapedia" Serves Up Loopy Definitions

Boston Globe:

The Boston Globe: A newspaper/Communist front organization, long known as "Pravda on the Charles." [See: New York Times; "Izvestiya on the Hudson."] Mouthpiece for Senators Ted Kennedy, Jean Kerry, and Godless Harvard. Pro-abortion; pro-gay marriage; pro-gun control.

No, we don't yet rate our own entry in Conservapedia, the online encyclopedia for right-leaning wing nuts. But I'd like to think that when the editors do include us, they will keep my humble submission in mind.

Conservapedia is just like Wikipedia, except that its 11,000 entries read like they were personally vetted by Pat Robertson and the 700 Club. Fed up with Wikipedia's purported liberal bias, Conservapedia's founder, Andrew Schlafly, son of conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, has created "an encyclopedia you can trust."

And you can trust them, to give you some pretty loopy definitions. Their entry on kangaroos, for instance, says that, "like all modern animals . . . kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood."
