i heard an excellent analysis of the VP debate last nite on NPR.
basically, they checked a lot of the facts used by cheney and edwards
(and there were a lot of them!). the conclusion was that both
*selectively* used facts (uh surprise?), although (according to NPR)
cheney seemed to do a lot more stretching.
the best part of the analysis came right at the end, when they
mentioned cheney’s statement that all of his facts were backed up by
“www.factcheck.com”.
this is hilarious because:
a) the website is actually www.factcheck.ORG
b) the website most definitely does not back up all of his facts
i heart NPR. the icing on the cake is that you can’t even get on this
website right now cos the server is too busy. hurrah for american
people actually searching for the truth!
IN OTHER NEWS
as many of you already know, i have a part-time gig as a super hero, powder blue. yesterday, two important things happened:
1) i discovered powder blue’s clark kent name, kelly green. this
represents a perfect balance between my two favorite colors. plus
powder blue really needed an alter ego to maintain the safety of her
loved ones against the evil forces of her archnemesis, dr. hunger.
2) i created an email for powder blue so that people can reach her
quickly whenever they need help. so, in times of crisis, please send yr
requests to powderblueismyhero@gmail.com (no seriously, this is a real
email. i would not joke about such important matters).
hmm… i sense that dr. hunger has breached my perimeter. must fight him off with honeycrisp apple!
