Thanks for reminding me about factcheck. I used to check them all the time, but somehow forgot about them over the past year. I'll have to move them to a more conspicuous place in my ever expanding list of bookmarks.

Fact Check is always fun, but truth, I'm afraid, doesn't really matter. If it did, Bush never would have been elected for a second term. So we can dispense with truth as a vital element in any political contest. So what does it really come down to? "Audience"- that is to say "voter- perception. Whoever wins the spin wins the election. That's just the way it is now in America. I think democrats have a fairly good chance winning the spin- I wish I was as confident about liberals owning the MSM as the wingers are, because every time they say some crap like that I think "Yeah baby- you keep talking like that, maybe it will come true." And if it already is true, hallelujah. And btw- isn't that Cohen song the best? Love that song Hallelujah.
