Just the Facts...

I think we all know that politicians will say almost anything to get elected including stretching the truth, distorting fact and telling outright lies. Fact Check is a nonprofit, non-partisan website run by the Annenberg Foundation that checks the facts behind what both candidates are saying to the voters. Personally, after reading how both parties are playing fast-and-loose with the truth, it amazes me they still continue to practice these obvious deceptions especially when their statements can be checked so easily. If you find this site helpful, please pass it along to others. In other news... I saw this item today from the Associated Press on several news feeds: Lehman Brothers steered millions to departing execs while asking for rescue. And even better, a Wall Street insider was appointed "Bailout Czar". Nice. So, they're giving control of the taxpayers bailout to a guy that was part of the same exclusive club of rich white ivy-league geniuses who got us into this mess in the first place? Wow. CU
