Takes recent statements from prominent folk, etc and puts them and their utterer through the truth-o-meter treatment. Very revealing.

This one is fascinating. Conks shake at it, no doubt:

Mitch McConnell, some Conk bigwig fvck: "To give the proposed economic stimulus plan some perspective, "if you started the day Jesus Christ was born and spent $1 million every day since then, you still wouldn’t have spent $1 trillion."


Cool!

Uh, Cap'n, the statement attributed to McConnell is true! (page 4, bottom)

Very interesting set of factoids. Neither party has a monopoly on "truthiness."

Um, Ivy, I know it's true. It's true and fascinating. What I meant by Conks shaking is that they're likely shaking with anger.

And, yes, neither party has cornered the truth market.
