(Ironically, the title of the best-selling book is "Imagine: How Creativity Works.")

And, this is a Rhodes scholar who writes for the New Yorker, writing his own book, published by no less than Houghton Mifflin Harcour, not some anonymous blogger.

(Though, to be fair, no one should have believed that Dylan spoke clearly enough recently to be understood.)

But, seriously, folks, how on earth do we find our way through all the cowpies out there that folks, from government to professional journalists to bloggers to message board poster are serving up as the truth?
