    Facts are boring, elitist, and turn babies into communists...or so I've heard somewhere

    If you're getting all, or even some of your facts from...

    1) a college drop-out and one time top 40 DJ turned talk radio host

    2) a guy with a PhD in political science who writes an arguably libelous book with the intent to spread disinformation, with the help of

    3) the former council to the current vice president and republican political consultant turned conservative editor

    4) a website run by a guy who helped write that former top 40 DJ's first book, as well has having a role in helping to fund such conservative priorities as the Arkansas Project

    ...you probably shouldn't be handling such difficult and taxing tasks such as listening to a radio, reading, or using a computer, let alone the inter-tubes to get your scientific facts.

    Incidentally, the same applies if you're getting your family values from the same 4 people who have been divorced a combined total of 7 times...wow.

    Now if only there were a 24 hour news channel where you could just turn off your brain and watch all of these 'scientists' validate these facts without the, um 'facts' getting the way....hmm
