40. the facts
the facts are getting in the way of the people who try desperately to spin the facts into something palatable for the American public...

This reminds me of an absolutely hilarious -- my MOST favorite ine ever -- from the Daily Show a few weeks ago, courtesy Rob Corddry:


Corddry: How does one report the facts in an unbiased way when the facts themselves are biased?

Stewart: I'm sorry, Rob, did you say the facts are biased?

Corddry: That's right Jon. From the names of our fallen soldiers to the gradual withdrawal of our allies to the growing insurgency, it's become all too clear that facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda.
