WND = World Net (Wing Nut) Daily:

WND is an extremely conservative website founded by Joseph Farah in 1997. It espouses a fundamentalist Christian, creationist view of the world. Its political leanings are right-wing, pro-"Christian right", and supposedly pro-United States, with strongly libertarian economic views. It pretends to give multiple sides of an issue: the conservative viewpoint and the ultra-conservative viewpoint. It is, for all intents and purposes, actually to the right of Fox News.
While they present themselves as news, WND is essentially just a tabloid for radical right-wingers. Their publishing standards are rock-bottom, and they have printed stories from extremely questionable sources on many, many occasions. They are best known for distributing Ann Coulter's insipid, poisonous columns, as well as articles written by noted political pundits Chuck Norris and Pat Boone.
The scary thing is that this bilge is actually slightly influential, with made-up bullshit from WND making its way out the mouths of wingnut congressmen and cable TV pundits.
