No, it's from the Zen proverbs page.

I found the following words in the footnote to my original Conservapedia post to be of particular minterest:

"...the article written by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe as allegedly (my emphasis) assisted by Barack Obama."

Note how the use of the word "allegedly" casts doubt on whether Obama actually assisted in the writing of professor Tribes's article, as if the former president of The Harvard Law Review was somehow not quite up to the task.

Thomas, hi my dear, what do you think of the new place of cult in the big apple. if it is a disgraceful question, just wink and I'll erase the post.

Hello, my friend! What are you referring to? Does "the big apple" refer to New York? What do you mean by "the new place of cult"? Cult as in a religious cult, or cult as being short for culture?

Yep. They do that a lot; throw in suggestions here and there, or create a connection in the mind of the reader, like this, underscore mine:
Michelle was employed at the law firm Sidley Austin along with Weather Underground terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, where she met Barack Obama.

They are also good at imitating the language of serious science, to show how open-minded they are. As in this example on the Dinosaur article:

The Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, a second century BC piece of art, contains a portion which depicts a group of Ethiopians hunting what some claim appears to be a dinosaur; there is much debate on this, however, and most modern art historians consider the mysterious animal to be a lion or a crocodile (the latter theory is supported by the presence of the Greek word for "crocodile" written near the image of the mysterious animal).

Let's see, if you see a painting of an animal that vaguely resembles a crocodile, and the word "crocodile" is written near it, I'd say it's worth considering the notion that it might be a crocodile.

Yes! I loved that bit
Especially this: (the latter theory is supported by the presence of the Greek word for "crocodile" written near the image of the mysterious animal) Can it get better?

Now if they had written "dinosaur" next to it, that would be some discovery, wouldn't it? Especially since the word was invented in the 19th century
