Jinx's Law

I have discovered an important corollary of Jinx's Law: The more Jinx talks, the stupider he sounds.

Do I get a noble prize? Bjones 16:35, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

You certainly do. But do you want to trade it for the chance to win tonight's star prize???

In other news, Jinxmoron's Law is just "I can say you're wrong without explaining myself if I want to." <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Sleepy Jack the fire drill} 16:40, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

A very noble prize. Nice of him to once again give us a shout out as well, eh? Smyth 16:41, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

We're getting close to the point where his user page is more about us than it is about him... ħuman 16:45, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Just as CP is moer about what they're agin than what they're for. CЯacke® 16:56, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Hey, thanks Jinx. How can someone as smart as you still be at CP? Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 16:55, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Wasn't the original formation of Jinx's law "The more devoutly Christian you claim to be, the more likely it is you'll be having secret meth fuelled gay sex"? --JeevesMkII 18:02, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

So, er, according to Jinx's Law, the Fourth Reich boys are actually carebear-level tolerant? Barikada 19:01, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

According to Jinx's Law, Variant 3, Andy Schlafly is totally closed-minded. Looks iron-clad to me! --Gulik 00:05, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Actions Have Consequences Game

I'm thinking of starting a new game, the Actions Have Consequences game, inspired by Jinx. Whoever can get the most libraries' IP's blocked, wins. I am personally going to get every single public library in the City of Chicago blocked on Conservapedia. Diavolos 17:10, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Wow, great idea. Should that be added as a points category over at the CP game on uncyclopedia? ħuman 17:20, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Treble points if you get CP blocked in the school library at Liberty University, Bob Jones University, etc. --SpinyNorman 18:11, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Infinity minus one points if you get Schlafly's IP range blocked... ħuman 18:15, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

What's the prize for the winner? A collection of proverbs, suggestions, laws and corollaries by Jinx? Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 17:22, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

The prize is the "Home Version" of Conservapedia. (okay, it's actually just a 2-by-4 plank to whack yourself in the head with) --SpinyNorman 20:25, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Another game - could be combined with Actions Have Consequence - hurl as many insults at Jinx as possible. He will proudly list the best ones on his User Page. weaseLOId~ 17:34, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Or whoever can get Andy to reply or even recognize the Desk/Abuse fiasco. I'm close to WIGO'ing how, on several occasions, he's been pointed to the abuse discussion and yet still shows conservative denial to it. Norseman^Wassail! 17:42, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

That and the "Debate: Should we stone all the atheists to death?" page. Hilarious, he is hiding from his own blog.--Antifly 17:59, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Oh yeah! Someone pointed that to him too, and he has yet to reply on that debate as well. Funny though, someone complains about Ed and Andy not only reads it, but fixes Ed's talk page. Ostrich head in the ground... RW should write a book and profit from this. Norseman^Wassail! 18:09, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

I've thought about this before, only trying to get as many IPs as possible blocked everywhere. That's a little grandiose, so concentrating on libraries is probably the way to go. I'll sock up at mine sometime soon, either doing as much parodying or questioning as I can until I'm blocked. As a bonus, I think we should try to get every common first name and last initial blocked as well, so next time they tell someone use your real first name and last initial, they'll be more likely to say they're unable to (though so many names have associated nicknames; it will take a long time to get all Roberts as well as Robs and Bobs blocked). Perhaps going to a library and registering "JohnA" "JohnB" etc as quickly as possible would be the best way to go. DickTurpis 11:06, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Wait, how do we know who was who? I mean, mine should be obvious, as I'll give them a proper burial, but everyone else...? Barikada 04:01, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Goat sighting!!!

cp:George Hussein Onyango Obama

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article4583353.ece

"Yesterday, over a simple lunch of barbecued goat and fistfuls of thick maize porridge, George admitted that he knew little about his famous half-brother. “People keep asking questions, but I have met him only twice and I can’t speak about what kind of man he is,” he said.

“Many people don’t know about my connection,” he continued, dipping a greasy hunk of goat in salt before popping it into his mouth..."

Kan we haz recipy pleez? ħuman 19:13, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

How fair is it if a hypothetical human being FIRST advertises a site with plenty of free goat recipes, THEN asks for recipes? Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 19:18, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Anyway, I suggest goat cheese instead of goat meat. The goat will be happier and your stomach too. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 19:19, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

One can only hope once his brother becomes president he'll engage in a little nepotism and appoint him as head of the goat marketing board. Sounds like a quango whose time has come to me. --JeevesMkII 19:21, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Hey, I offered up our recipes, but why not ask for his favorites, too? ħuman 19:23, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Right. I misread you, I thought you were asking recipes from us RW users :-P And I was bitter as I created a sock there a few minutes ago and already forgot his password. How lame is that! Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 19:27, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Why don't you just use the same password for all of them? Or some easy trick, like pword = username backwards? I do that all the time... oops... well, twice, anyway. ħuman 20:03, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Here. I spent a minute creating yer technical solution to the problem, at least in firefox where I tested it. Probably works in other browsers too, but who uses those?

Anyway, here's some bookmarklets generate a password from a user name and then fill it in to the appropriate boxes both on signup and login.

Here, for logging in:

javascript:(function(){ var salt = 'AAAA'; var name = document.userlogin.wpName.value; var prekey = salt + name; var nameLen = name.length; var key = ''; for (var i = 0; i < prekey.length; ++i) { var maskChar = i % nameLen; var char = 'a'.charCodeAt(0) + ((prekey.charCodeAt(i) + name.charCodeAt(maskChar)) % 26); key += String.fromCharCode(char); } document.userlogin.wpPassword.value = key;})();

And for signing up:

javascript:(function(){ var salt = 'AAAA'; var name = document.userlogin2.wpName.value; var prekey = salt + name; var nameLen = name.length; var key = ''; for (var i = 0; i < prekey.length; ++i) { var maskChar = i % nameLen; var char = 'a'.charCodeAt(0) + ((prekey.charCodeAt(i) + name.charCodeAt(maskChar)) % 26); key += String.fromCharCode(char); } document.userlogin2.wpRetype.value = key; document.userlogin2.wpPassword.value = key;})();

To use them, first change the "salt" string to something unique to you (the same string in both scripts.) Then right click on the bookmarks bar, select new bookmark, and paste the snippet in to the "location" field, give the bookmarklet a sensible name (I suggest "Conservapedia Login" and "Conservapedia Signup" repectively), go to the the appropriate page, put a username in the box and click the bookmarklet. Et voila. --JeevesMkII 20:26, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Wait, actually... what the hell am I thinking? Here's the bookmarklet in one big honking single definition. Why take two bookmarklets in to the shower?

javascript:(function(){ var salt = 'AAAA'; var theForm = null; if (document.userlogin) { theForm = document.userlogin; } else if (document.userlogin2) { theForm = document.userlogin2; } else { return; } var name = theForm.wpName.value; var prekey = salt + name; var nameLen = name.length; var key = ''; for (var i = 0; i < prekey.length; ++i) { var maskChar = i % nameLen; var char = 'a'.charCodeAt(0) + ((prekey.charCodeAt(i) + name.charCodeAt(maskChar)) % 26); key += String.fromCharCode(char); } if (theForm.wpRetype) { theForm.wpRetype.value = key; } theForm.wpPassword.value = key;})();

--JeevesMkII 20:45, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Obviously these things are possible but my mind tends to boggle at the ease which you & your ilk do them.   ^Contribs_Talk 21:08, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Eh, the sooper sekrit global conspiracy of software engineers hides a radical truth from the world, that writing software is pathetically easy. If people were ever to learn this secret they might be motivated to ask awkward questions like "If software is easy, why does my computer crash and burn every five minutes?" or "I wouldn't buy a house that falls down every few days, why the fuck should I buy your software?" or perhaps even "Why does this software come with a disclaimer saying it isn't warranted as fit for purpose?"

The rather sad and pathetic truth is that the majority of software engineers are incompetent wankers who got in to the trade for the cash, and in fact with only a couple of months and a small collection of books you could perform better at their jobs than they could. I sometimes kind of miss the 80s, when there was a general feeling that as personal computers became accessible to the common man in a decade writing software would be a skill taught along side writing English in school. If that were the case, I rather doubt my industry would now still be in the primitive state it's still in today. --JeevesMkII 21:46, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

I learnt BASIC on a Sinclair Z80, COBOL & C at college (Mature, very, student) Lisp & Logo out of interest but I'd stopped when Object Oriented stuff came along. I occasionally start to read (I've books on every language) but the little gray cells give out sooner than they used to. :-)   ^Contribs_Talk 21:54, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

You know, I've always wanted one of those cute LOGO turtles to plug in to my BBC micro. I ought to check ebay. --JeevesMkII 21:56, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

There's LEGO kits that'll do the job - in fact there's quite a nerd thing about them.   ^Contribs_Talk 22:02, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Atheists on MySpace

As usual, Ken makes a statement that turns out not to be quite right after all. I'd say the boy needs to work on his research skills more, but we all know the moment he finds something negative about atheists/evolutionists/homosexuals, that's where he stops, regardless of the truth. --Kels 20:55, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Like the quote below your second link: "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" - Sinclair Lewis - and calling itself Conservapedia.   ^Contribs_Talk 21:06, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Woah, missed that. I like that quote, too. --Kels 21:19, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Isn't that kind of a truism? Fascism has always had at its core some kind of ultra-nationalism, and national identity is almost always bound up with one or more religions. --JeevesMkII 21:36, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Notice: the quote says when not if.   ^Contribs_Talk 22:05, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Can we haz hope, at least ;) ? ħuman 00:52, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Expectations

You know, as much as Chippertson's Dem Convention notes are infuriatingly spun like cotton candy from the thinnest of fantasies, it's actually the sort of thing I'd originally expected CP to be full of. More like normal Right rhetoric, rather than the raving, staring, bat shit insane and then some ravings of Andy and the Sysops of Doom. Honestly, it's like a breath of slightly recirculated but at least refreshing air, seeing an older style of Conservative rhetoric for once. --Kels 22:35, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Hmmm - but the danger with normal conservatice rhetoric is that someone might swallow it. CP is SO hatstand that nobody can possibly buy it, can they? Matt 06:00, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Heh. Well, what can you expect from an affirmative action columnist? --JeevesMkII 08:19, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Has it been already mentioned in CP? If not, hey you CP Sysops! Conservapedia appears on a big, international newspaper! Whoohoo! Make it Main Page now! Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 08:57, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

JPatt born elsewhere?

His essay makes him seem barely literate in English. Was he born in an English-speaking country? Coarb 09:07, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

It's not just the grammar, it seems barely coherent on any level.

• It tries to lay out a thesis: "This article is about ... the people whom support Barack Obama". But even if you count the Rezko and Iran references, most of the article is about his past environment, not his current supporters.
• Does the "special interests" reference make any sense to anyone?
• There's one sentence that's bolded as if it's the cornerstone of the piece, but I can't find any evidence to support the claim.

I wonder if JPatt is just more experienced at speaking rather than formal writing. Some parts of it seem like they fit a sermon better than they fit a formally written piece.

• Constant accusations against Chicago mayor Daley. Justice system overburdened, crime at public curfew status, public enforcement in disarray. (Four verbs have gone missing. Find them and you may help solve a crime.)
• Does everyone know the religious environment in Chicago? What is going on in Chicago? (Does anyone else hear an echo in here? I think there might be an echo?)

--Toiretni 09:40, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

There are people intentionally writing in bad language. And that's all I have to say. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 09:45, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Is this the Conservapedia version of the redshirt rule? If a new user tries to stick his neck out as much as the head honcho does, they're almost certainly going to be killed off soon. Only members of the inner circle have any chance of getting away with it while still managing to be seen as genuine. --Toiretni 10:38, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

It is pretty incoherent, isn't it. Anyway, is "Mobile, Alabama" some cultural byword that I don't get, or is that possibly where he's from. It would explain a lot. --JeevesMkII 09:46, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I want to know what some *other* church (rather, mosque) that is teaching arabic has anything to do with 1) rev. wright, or 2) barack obama (even if he *were* muslim). I sware to go this reads worse than highschool papers.--Waiting for Godot 10:36, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, worse than what I can do, and that's pretty bad. :p It's good to know that all I had to do was read the bottom line first to summarize it up without reading anything else. Norseman^Wassail! 11:12, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

This series of diffs is great for JP lulz. Unintentional irony is the best irony, and the copy-editing required for this piece on liberals having a superiority complex is priceless. Corry^{You can always tell a Milford man.} 15:41, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Answers.com

I don't know how wide spread this is but every now and then there is an article on CP citing Answers.com. Most of an Answers.com result is pulled from Wikipedia, isn't this a violation of one of the Commandments be it in a round about manner? $\approx$$\pi$ 09:10, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

They don't give a damn about the commandments. They are just excuses used to ban people that disagree with them. ^{Exasperate me!}Sheesh!_{Not the most impressive contributor here} 10:39, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Cantor and Andy

Does it strike anyone else as a little creepy that "VP front-runner" Cantor bears an uncanny resemblance to a younger Andy? Does it give Andy any "If only I had won in 1992" moments, I wonder... --SpinyNorman 09:59, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I find it funny that the reference Andy gives on his "news" item about it on the front page doesn't mention Cantor at all. --Kels 15:57, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

By picking someone who isn't likely to get the nomination, when McCain looses Andy can say "oh, but if you picked this VP, you would have won these states and thus the election." --Shagie 16:13, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Click the link and read the comments. DickTurpis 16:19, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Entertaining, but I checked all eight pages and the still don't mention Cantor. I like the venom at gramma Phyllis, though. --Kels 16:29, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

It was the reference to mommy I was directing you to. I have an idea, every time CP main page links to an article that allows comments, we should make sure disparaging comments about his mom feature prominently. I'd love to see half the links from his site mocking his mom. DickTurpis 21:54, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

The reason it didn't mention Cantor is nobody is taking this seriously but Andy. This seems to me to be an attempt to lift CP's credibility and profile by picking the VP candidate that no one expected and then he can crow about it as a Conservapedia insight or what ever. The only way he can do this is by picking the only person no one else would pick. He was probably told by a "Republican party insider" (his local branch secretary) that Cantor was not out of consideration and so has run with it (or read too much into a news article). I notice he is already trying to distance himself from these claims. $\approx$$\pi$ 19:27, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

[1] was added as ref to the Cantor article. Hmm, one appeal he has is possible appeal to, the, uh, chosen people. Like they are going to flock to the GOP for a big business shill like him. ħuman 20:06, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

They're dropping the ball over there

I mean, what does it take to get banned these days? First I register with a name that should have got me banned right away, (I even spelled it out for them, and it was this edit that finally did get me banned days later), I use a proxy from God knows where, they obviously do a checkuser because another sock of mine gets banhammered but they don't ban me. Then I question them on all sorts of innocent things that still usually get others banned (BS in their news section, Andy's class size idiocy, triangular trade, etc.) , I call out Ed fuckin' Poor for abuse in his blocking, I insert BS into a bunch of articles on insects, and NOTHING. It's like I can't get arrested in this town. DickTurpis 10:15, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

That's so unfair, I was banned only for inspiring Jinx with a couple quotes. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 11:51, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I was blocked for registering with my first name and initial. Of course only a total klutz would think that makes any difference. So I registered with something completely bogus and in revenge have been inserting parody to my heart's content. Jinx, your'e a complete buffoon. Actions have consequences! Genghis^{Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.} 14:42, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

P.S. I know it will be you Jellyfish blocking me there with your random, nonsensical name. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 15:25, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Oh come on, give Jinx a chance! There's no way he'll be able to figure that one out, Ed. Perhaps something simpler like "IAlsoEditAtRationalWikiWhichIKnowYouDon'tLikeSoIApologise"? Play fair. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{Sleepy Jack the fire drill} 15:29, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I thought so until a few minutes ago. But when you told us that you were Jinx, I understood that you just play stupid. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 15:36, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Argh! I'd normally be proud and honoured to be blocked for being Ames. But HenryS knew it so well that I'm not Ames. This is just depressing. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 18:24, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

HelpJazz

I'm a little lost -- what happened to HelpJazz? JJ4e^{Got milk?} 12:01, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Aww, it's a sad story of the poor, perpetually-passed-over yet earnest editor who eventually just faded away with little fanfare. He didn't really go out with a bang or even a farewell. He just kinda... stopped. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 12:18, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Andy promised to review his application for night edit rights in "a couple of day's time". Of course nothing ever happened about it and thugs like Jinx & Bugler got promoted as well as complete newbies. So he just gave up. Genghis^{Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.} 14:45, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Poor lad. But that's how things are in Andyland. Thanks. JJ4e^{Got milk?} 15:37, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Let us not forget poor Iduan. - CЯacke® 00:30, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

It has always been Andy's policy to promote the ideologically pure rather than the good contributors, or the competent. $\approx$$\pi$ 00:34, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Although he likes to pretend CP is a "meritocracy". The only merit he acknowledges, sadly, is "agreeing with Andy". ħuman 00:56, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Did anyone try to contact HelpJazz and invite him here? $\approx$$\pi$ 00:58, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

I think he was here - but didn't like us. :-)   ^Contribs_Talk 01:01, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

That is sad, weren't we nice to him? $\approx$$\pi$ 01:04, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

I believe he was Lurker. He basically didn't subscribe to our general POV and largely gave up here at the same time as he gave up on CP. I don't believe that we were nasty to him but he did challenge some posts here, so he served a useful function while he was around. Genghis^{Our ignorance is God; what we know is science.} 04:08, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

That's a bit of a weighty accusation to level. I never got the faintest impression that Lurker was anything more than Lurker. Are you sure your CP-radar isn't malfunctioning? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:18, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Grammar war

An ugly edit war :-D Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 15:37, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Edit summaries

This is not WIGO worthy or possibly TWIGO worthy but Eds edit summaries can can be interesting to say the least. $\approx$$\pi$ 19:55, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Okay now these two are ridiculous. $\approx$$\pi$ 07:42, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Once more unto the breach

Ed defines a new policy: "please don't confuse Ed". [2] ħuman 20:10, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Oh, should I have WIGO'd that? ħuman 20:10, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Go and WIGO it, and do it well. That's my writing assignment to you. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 20:19, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Points will be removed if an ironic reference to the Schlafly Reversal is left out. --SpinyNorman 20:30, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Whah...?! ħuman 20:31, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Sorry - just felt that if one is going to poke fun at Ed chiding people over taking discussions off into tangents and loops of senseless arguments, he should remember that this is one of Andy's favorite tactics when boxed into a logical corner. Being a liberal of course, you're as likely to agree with me on that you are to agree with the obvious fact that abortions raise the risk of breast cancer. --SpinyNorman 23:56, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

• Now the fog clears... it's all about "the basics". Ed's new idea makes things easier for the sysops: only write uncomplicated articles. JJ4e^{Got milk?} 21:10, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

What led to this article / policy of Ed's? He mentions "a remark about a contributor's qualifications to be a math teacher" - sounds like maybe he's been pwned in a math debate or two recently . . . weaseLOId~ 21:17, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I think it relates to the entire topic of mathematics on CP, and Ed's being pwned at every article he goes near, and then deleting it. ħuman 21:22, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

The reason for this outburst seems to be here: [3]... --LArron 01:40, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

I'll buy that story. Ed Poor = Lump, that thinks it is smart, but has not provided evidence since 11th grade. ħuman 01:49, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

At least, half of this prophecy (Stealth Disruption) was fulfilled:

• 09:28, 27 August 2008, Karajou (Talk | contribs) blocked DirkE (Talk | contribs) (infinite, account creation blocked) (Sock of blocked user: sock of vandals Jim01, PamAyers, VladDubovsky)

Is there any connection between Jim01, PamAyers, BladDubovsky, DirkE - or the other editors whom Karajou banned as socks of DirkE (Kaz, Adrian25, Kaprisky, SybianR, EmilyC, ThomasJSmith and StanleyB)? --LArron 04:39, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Heh, looks like somebody already asked the good question: "...why not?"

In the meantime, Ed proves that he can be even weirder: "I accept your source, but not what it says!" (Wolfram = Mathworld) --Sid 05:57, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Slow

Pretty slow here. Everyone watching Obama? Impressive speech, innit? DickTurpis 22:35, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

I've sort of idly been following the reaction on the Group News Blog, who's got a few folks on the floor there. All else aside, this is just plain visceral. McCain's got nothing to top that sort of enthusiasm. --Kels 22:46, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Not a bad speech, a bit "lumpy" though. Thought he was gonna end it a few times. Still, looked like he memorized it, and made many good points. ħuman 23:08, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Did you catch the immediate "point by point" response from Team McCain after the speech ended? Here it is:

"Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama," spokesman Tucker Bounds said. "When the temple comes down, the fireworks end, and the words are over, the facts remain: Senator Obama still has no record of bipartisanship, still opposes offshore drilling, still voted to raise taxes on those making just $42,000 per year, and still voted against funds for American troops in harm's way. The fact remains: Barack Obama is still not ready to be President."

Wow, that really took apart over an hour of quality oratory and Obama's 29 specific points regarding his policy positions. Next week ought to be interesting, and I can't wait for the debates. --SpinyNorman 00:01, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

The debates are gonna rule. As I said, he had his speech "in his head". McCain doesn't know what a PIN is, let alone remember one. ħuman 00:08, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

(unindent)Chip gives us a wonderful analysis of Obama's speech here. "Fundamentally weak"? Really? In quotes? Funny, since I can't find any transcript that says that. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 01:12, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Looks to me like you are trying to make some silly troll famous. Whatever, CP won't honor their contribs... ħuman 01:19, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Are you kiddng? Ed put it up on the Main News section. (Good thing those Sysops handle the quality-control, right Croc?). I Had called out the bad quote on the main Talk page, and had initially tagged Ed with this until I realized he was the poster, not the author. --SpinyNorman 10:19, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Chippeterson seems to have been around a while. He was really active about this time last year. He didn't do anything for a month, but seems to have got right into this Wikiproject thing. Which reminds me I am suppose to writing a proposal for ours. $\approx$$\pi$ 01:56, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Denmark

Okay, somebody please enlighten me: what sort of inside joke significance does Denmark have? There was this perplexing comment from HenryS in response to a question about Jinx's bullshit law a couple of days ago, and now he's done this to Human's userpage. What's with that? Johann 04:43, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

It's a sad story, quite reminding of Romeo and Juliet. There are two youngs, who unfortunately happen to belong to different, enemy families: Andreas Rationalwikian, who happens to be a Dane, and Henry Conservapedian, from Ukraine one day, the US the other. Every contact between these two families has been shut down, only mockery and false accusations are permitted. Henry is too loyal to his family to abandon them and join his Andreas. That's why his only consolation is his diary, where he writes about his loneliness and his admiration for a Dane Danes. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 05:54, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Addiction to unchastity

This is pretty funny. Obviously David Duchovny's sex addiction is a direct result of his TV role which leaves him "trapped by the depravity that he promoted". . . . Isn't there supposed to be a 'no gossip' rule? weaseLOId~ 06:18, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, but the "We must speak the harsh truth about liberals" commandment overrides all other commandments, so gossip is cool as long as it's gossip about whoever CP claims to be a liberal. And Bugler maybe should've named the series in question. Before I checked the source, I assumed that he meant The X-Files. --Sid 06:43, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

As Bugler was mentioned, this edit is so over the top that I can't find good words for a WIGO entry. Liar at RP^{(Ed at CP)} 06:53, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

I thought he meant X-Files too. That may have been deliberate - by Conservapedia standards, it probably is quite a "decadent" show. . . . In other news, Ed Poor finds Hello Kitty "almost painfully cute". Awwwww. weaseLOId~ 08:07, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

"He had a recurring role as a transvestite DEA agent on the series Twin Peaks and played the narrator/host in the long-running Showtime erotica/softcore TV series Red Shoe Diaries." (WP) Seems he's always been a bit sex oriented in his roles.   ^Contribs_Talk 08:37, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

McCain's VP

Since McCain has picked an inexperienced woman from Alaska as his VP, who must have gotten to where she is from Affirmative Action (not being a white male), we will now open the floor to predicted Andy quotes :) --BoredCPer 10:48, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

She's governor of the second largest (or is it the largest? I always forget) state in America, and has helped Bush open up all that unused land to Oil exploration. How can anyone possibly say she's inexperienced? She's a great conservative and a visionary! Bondurant 10:55, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
