It goes without saying that science-haters are already hard at work either ignoring orcastigatingthis research. Nevertheless, this is an important finding and one that will no doubt teach us a great deal both about evolution and about the lengths one must go to in order to pretend it doesn't work. …

We also won't dig too deeply into the amazing results of most homeschooling, except to note thatWilliams College, one of the most exclusive schools in the country, admits that their acceptance rate of homeschoolers is at 20 percent, virtually identical to its overall acceptance rate. Since most of the students at Williams have come through some of the best …

"If elected, Obama would be the first Affirmative Action President," -Conservapedia.

But just what the hell is an “affirmative action president”? According to Conservapedia, anaffirmative action presidentis one that is elected primarily because of his race. The phrase was coined, evidently, by right wingnut Michael Savage, who reportedly said that America’s not ready for an affirmative action president. Maybe there …

I did not know that. According toConservapedia, which proudly calls itself "The Trustworthy Encyclopedia," those who believe that dinosaurs lived some 65 million years ago are sadly falling for hooey. Among the evidence to the contrary: A thousand people reported seeing a dinosaur-like monster in …
