2. there you go with that "reality" again

Don't you know that we don't operate in reality around here. If we were to act based on reality and truth....Chimpy would be quit before he could be impeached tomorrow, Cheney would be shipped off to The Hague along with Rummy, global warming would be recognized and effots made to reverse it, and... oh why do I go on. We all know that there is no reality.
I love all of the "alternative names" regarding the civil war that have come out lately, like:
The recent unpleasantries, sectarian oops, continued celebratory gunfire.....
