Well, sometimes a fact is not really a fact. It's an opinion masquarding as a "fact". You can twist facts, just on how they are stated. Just like poll questions. Just like numbers. Just like "facts".

I like Joe Scarborough. I'm not dismissing him, but he makes no bones about the fact that he is a Republican. And he was an elected official. And it seems to me that he has sometimes been testing the water for making another run for public office. He often makes public comments that make clear that he doesn't like the Obama Administration. There are times I agree with him and times I don't. This time, I don't.

I don't expect anyone to believe me "just because I worked in Washington for the Federal Government". But, given that I have, I do think it gives me insight into how the government often works. But, I don't really care if anyone agrees with me or not. I lived it and I go on my experiences. Just because I don't write long detailed posts about this or that doesn't mean I don't have facts or insight. I've written more long detailed analysis in my career than I care to remember, and now that I've retired, I've given it up. If the result is that some people here want to discount me, well, I can live with that.
