TOMORROW'S NEW TODAY
Humor piece from Avant News. An excerpt:
PRESIDENT BUSH NABBED IN EFFORT TO ALTER OWN WIKIPEDIA ENTRY
Jarvis229 said he first got wind of a "legacy cleansing attack", as efforts by politicians to rewrite history via Wikipedia are commonly known, when he noticed the number of soldiers listed as killed in Iraq drop from 5,339 to 11.
"That struck me as inaccurate almost right away," he said.
Jarvis229 kept an eye on the page as an anonymous visitor proceeded to make a number of additional changes and "corrections", altering many of the descriptions of Bush's abilities and activities as president to more flattering terms, and expunging many of the more catastrophic gaffes.
"It was a little sad to watch," Jarvis229 said. "Suddenly a line appeared that read, and I quote, 'President George W. Bush who is a uniter not a divider spent his whole presidency trying hard to work together with the Democrat [sic] party, but they were real stubborn and counterproduction [sic]'.
