Ouch!

This article in Slate is a scathing fact-check analysis of last nights RNC hate-fest. The Bushies have raised the bar on mendacity in a presidential campaign to its highest heights. Why you ask? Because they have nothing positive of their own to run on, they must paint their opponent as un-electable.

Last night was supposed to be focused on the economy. I can't recall much in the way of discussion of that topic. Given today's news... probably a wise choice.

Tonight we'll here, once again, that the economy is improving... that they've added 1.5 million jobs this year. Too bad they are still 1.8 million in the hole and that the goal they had promised us was in fact 6 million new jobs in 4 years. 1.5 million sounds like a good thing, but it is actually back-pedalling... it isn't keeping pace with population growth.

Anyway, read the article...
