fact check

i've been checking my facts. well, not my facts, but palin's & obama's. (mc-who?) 

the facts. factcheck.org. see for yourself. 

some of the things i found interesting: 

the bridge to nowhere thing

the earmark thing

the pigs and pit bulls thing

the health care thing

the iraqi accounting thing

i refuse to believe that either candidate is wholesome and good, with no wrong in their fighting words. i also refuse to believe that either candidate is wholly bad with no good to be said or done. that being said, i think politics is a shady, shady biz. i think we should find out how kindergarten teachers would run the country. we'd nap more. play more (and maybe even play well with others). laugh more. share more. learn more. be held more accountable for cleaning up our own messes.  we might learn to put things back where we found them, or even learn the difference between fact and fiction. hmmm...

my vote for president will go to the one offering mandatory siestas during the work week. i might even go back to work, just for that.
