What's With These Guys?

• Lesser Whiskey Tango Foxtrot example:  Utah mayor admits to sockpuppetry.   (Comrade Misfit has the links;  I'm just trying to collect my jaw from the floor.)
• A book about the assassination of President Lincoln written by a known wingnut is so full of Wrong (to quote my source, Apparently the book is so filled with errors, inaccuracies and lack of documentation that historians are pointing their fingers and laughing.) that it won't be sold at Ford's Theater's museum bookstore.  Southern Beale has the information.  And Jurassicpork brings the snark.
• I mean, I'm sorry reality doesn't favor the conservative narrative, but there is a reason history is an academic discipline.
