Last night, after five o'clock, in an effort to stop partisan bickering in the workplace, and to spread what I find to be informative and helpful points regarding the upcoming election, I printed several documents from FactCheck.org and placed them in the office cafeteria, right next to some other documents that were left for public consumption (mostly solicitations to buy children's books and old take-out menus).

This morning, I arrived (early) to find that the FactCheck documents were selectively removed from the other papers and shoved unceremoniously into the trash. It appears that someone here is afraid of the truth.

So I, in turn, encourage readers to go to FactCheck.org and read all of the articles there. I personally found it very enlightening.

[EDIT: I selected a few articles that I thought pointed out misleading points that are in the forefront of the media. This includes a discussion on Kerry's "Flip-flopping", with his comments such as "Wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" put back into context. It also included an analysis of various numbers, including jobs, healthcare costs, etc. IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THAT MY SELECTION OF ARTICLES MIGHT BE CONSTRUED A PARTISAN. Well, if it was, it was unintentional. If it was, it was still a collection of data from what is generally agreed to be one of the least-partisan organizations available.]
