Thought a little truth mixed with levity from the other side of the world might help you keep on plugging. Have a Great Day!

"I truly believe," said Laura Bush fervently, in a conversation with CNN's Larry King, "that Iraq is becoming a democracy." And it was as if, because she truly believes it, it must be true. We pedestrian Earth-dwellers, still naively believing it's the facts on the ground that count, ignore at our peril the power of what has wittily been called "faith-based intelligence" to create its own alternative reality - and then to project it successfully to the conservative half of America through Fox News and rightwing talk radio. Some 42% of those asked in one recent poll thought things were going well in Iraq.

1. "Faith Based Intelligence".................

How true, and how utterly terrifying. Of all the resource books available to people to find out concrete facts about issues, they insist in choosing the bible. To them it's an all purpose first and last authority on everything. It has all the answers you'll ever need to know.
