Common Knowledge... retraction/revision

At the very least, Sunday night's post is simply further evidence that I need to find a way to attach a breathalizer to my "Post to Talk_Politics" button

I am both disturbed and intrigued.

Usually it takes somethink kinkier than dead squirrels and booze to elicit that response.

Laugh it up while you can, I will get you (in the intellectual sense) sooner or later.

What about those WMD?

[sophia_sadek]

Your mention of the whole Saddam/WMD thing reminds me of a recent trip I took through spin doctor land. As I was perusing Rumsfeld's memoir, I was struck by the absence of any depth of coverage of the WMD scandal. Rumsfeld did not even mention Joseph Wilson's name, much less the whole business of the faked documents that came out of Italy. I can understand that he would omit Curveball since it was a less overt aspect of the whole affair. Likewise, an even more obscure aspect of the whole affair was the interception of Medusa rocket tubes that were deliberately misconstrued as nuclear centrifuge components

Hey man, don't forget that post allowed us to review the critical issue of whether Scarlett Johansson looks better glamoured up or popcorn-eating casual.

So I think we all learned something important and came away better men and women because of your post.

[sandwichwarrior]

Ha! true that.

[geezer_also]

Was there something else in that post?????

Yes.

"I guess of all my uncles, I liked Uncle Cave Man the best. We called him Uncle Cave Man because he lived in a cave and because sometimes he'd eat one of us. Later on we found out he was a bear."

Ah, Jack Handy.

I hope this sheds a light on people who use conspiracy arguments of 'the right did this!' or 'the left did this!' in order to abstract the issue to the point of nonsense in order to facilitate their viewpoint.

I hope we can continue to strive for honest discourse that involves actual debate and not just stating an opinion as fact without demonstrating it as a fact.

This ought to be part of the site rules. ;-D
