I keep thinking of something Rove supposedly said... [View all]

"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.[3]"

This was back in 2004 and I remember reading that chilled me to the bone. What the fuck do you mean? How can you argue against facts?

Seems pretty prophetic now.
