One bourbon, one scotch, and one mav

Every once in a great while, something happens that makes you think that, while you’re not lucky enough to live in one, there are pockets of true justice that do exist in the world. When one of those pockets just happens to coincide with one of your favorite organizations, it’s all the sweeter.

Last week, the story broke that some politicians had been having staffers edit their own Wikipedia articles. Gee, politicians spending our tax dollars trying to spread good PR about themselves? There’s not a big enough :rolleyes: for this.

Still, it’s one in a whole string of challenges that Wikipedia has been facing lately - and considering it’s a really revolutionary idea, it’s sad to see this stuff happening. Still, challenges make us stronger, and that definitely seems to be the case with Wikipedia. I mean, how do you respond to a situation like that? You could ignore it altogether, downplay it and say that changes like that often get edited back to normal quickly, write up a press release chastizing these politicians and their minions…

or you could ban Congress.

This is so fucking cool that it deserves a alpha-blended

Yeah, I know, it’s only for a week, it’s happened before and it’s not a final decision but it is nice to see an organization standing up and telling our tidy collection of cocksuckers that they may be rich and powerful and owned by major corporations and usually don’t have to obey the laws they create but they can’t fuck with Wikipedia.
