Bob Cox & The Wikipedia Boogeyman

3:34 pm EST April 24th, 2007 | News | 8 Comments

Robert Cox, the guy behind Olbermannwatch, has written yet another op-ed in the conservative Washington Examiner claiming that the right is in trouble because Wikipedia supposedly is liberal. As I’ve told Bob before, if there’s something inaccurate on Wikipedia – edit it! It’s pretty simple. I know reality has a liberal bias, but come on.

    It’s not just “edit it,” it’s also “cite it.” That’s where you end up getting into trouble.

    Do you know about “conservapedia”? Google it…it’s not worthy of a link.

    Oliver, I am sorry for this offtopic comment, but it is really important.

    I posted this over at TBogg’s too. I think that if you and TBogg can speak out about what I am about to tell you about, we can get other progressive bloggers like those at Kos or Atrios to chime in and stop a horrible outcome.

    This is probably a bipartisan issue, but it is certainly a liberal issue.

    It’s chocolate.

    The Bush FDA wants to make it so manufacturers can use cheap (hydrogenated) animal fats in place of cocoa butter and still call the resulting crap Chocolate!

    The FDA has a comment area open until April 25th, tomorrow! So can you help get the word out?

    (I would like to make the claim that this is some sort of corn syrup giveaway to the ADMs, et. al., but I truly don’t know, that is pure speculation on my part given how this Administration is only motivated by corruption.)

    I heard that the administration’s first plan was to use rendered latino illegal immigrants in place of cocoa butter (because you know how conservatives hate brown people) until someone reminded Bush that he’s actually in favor or illegal immigration. So they hastily switched to plan B, (hydrogenated) animal fats. And no one’s the wiser.

    But keep it to yourself.

    Know about it? I’m addicted to the damn thing. Its hilarious. Right now they’re trying to demean that study that shows no causal link between breast cancer and abortions by, I swear to god, complaining that it follows the scientific method. Last week they were arguing that the VTech killer was acting from anti-christian prejudice (you think they realize he killed that jewish holocaust survivor or not?) and the week before they were trying to pretend Ben Franklin wasn’t a Deist like he said he was. Its all kinds of fun trying to figure out how wrong they’ll be each passing day.

    So it’s actually vegetable fats and not animal fats. My mistake.
