Anyone who uses Wiki as a source is automatically lame.

That's just it. Wikipedia is NOT a source of anything, in the first place. But more than that, its very design makes it unusable in citations. What good is a citation if the reference that it points to is not stable?

Wikipedia is a source of amusement, nothing more. You want a source citation, you can get the Encyclopedia Britannica online.

My daughter is in third grade, and one of the conditions of her writing reports, etc. is that students CANNOT use wiki as a source!!! Elementary, my dear Watson, and yet these doofuses in the MSM treat it as if it were canon!! LOL! Boy, are their collective faces going to be red when they get slapped with multiple lawsuits!

And Rush has the bucks to drag this out for years—do they?
