THINK

Coming up on this weekends show:

A Journey to the Heart of Darkness

That's really all I can say about it except it is going to be my emotional response to the re-fetishizing of war, torture and terrorism. It probably won't be a big hit with the conservative crowd.

By the way, keep an eye on factcheck.org in this campaign. They set the record straight about both candidates on a regular basis but see if you don't notice one side's errors being more like lies and less like exaggerations than the other's.

Both sides stretch the truth and spin, sometimes accidentally I'm sure. But one campaign has had to be seriously smacked down for what appear to be blatant intentional falsehoods, lies, or 'distortions' (to put it mildly).

Also, you should really check out the Daily Show's take on the Gender Card spin put out during the RNC. It's actually some of the best journalism I've seen in a while and it's also funny.

Don't believe either side but don't tune out either and give up. Look into it yourself and find what's true and what isn't. Its easier to do today than it ever has been. To do anything else would be Un-American.
