I have always been a fan of Wikipedia. While others question the accuracy of an online encyclopedia where entries are submitted by the public, I believe that the wisdom of the crowd (educated Americans at least) is pretty accurate over time, and certainly more accurate than say the faculty of Yale.
A good friend of mine writes entries for Wikipedia. Today he alerted me to a cover-up of Vera Baker. Who is Ms. Baker? According to the National Enquirer (motto: we got John Edwards, so we are not completely making this stuff up!) Vera Baker is President's mistress, and possibly a space alien.
While Wikipedia was happy to post articles about President Bush's alleged and unproven use of cocaine as a young man, check out this internal debate about whether the Presidents current mistress should have a heavily edited entry in Wikipedia or simply be pulled off of the site entirely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Vera_Baker.
Now, check out the cover up version of Vera Baker that is presented to the public: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Baker.
Hmmm . . . .Seems like Wikipedia has a different set of rules for Republican misdeeds of the 1970s, than for the misdeeds of Democrats here in 2010. Back to Encyclopedia Britannica for me. . .

You can paste a URL and it translates the entire page.
Ahh....thanks! I noticed some of it translated strangely. Like Globe was Earth. But I use babel occassionally.
It’s always a bad translation, but it’s fun to read anyway.
