Hey, maybe this explains all that foot-tapping they do in men's rooms!
Blogger Accordion Guy (Joey deVilla) has an interesting observation about the ten most-viewed pages on Conservapedia, the right-wing "answer" to wikipedia. He seems to think there's a... um... theme evident.
This actually reminds me of a piece Christopher Hitchens did (an article! I'm talking about an article!) three months ago in Slate, in which he noted that research done for a 1970 doctoral thesis found that many men who sought out sexual encounters with other men in "tearooms" "compensated for their conduct by adopting extreme conservative postures in public."
In any case, based on the specific subjects the conservatives seem to be interested in, I can't help thinking Conservapedia probably doesn't offer what they need: they probably ought to visit some different websites, not that it's really any of my business. It's just a suggestion, is all.
