I know I voted for the right guy 10 years ago when he faces the following on Facebook:
One of my favorite parts of summer is deciding what to read when things slow down just a bit, whether it’s on a vacation with family or just a quiet afternoon. This summer I’ve been absorbed by new novels, revisited an old classic, and reaffirmed my faith in our ability to move forward together when we seek the truth.
Not only does he read, but he cares about the truth to the extent that he brings it out, dusts it off, and doesn’t let the fact that it’s an old thought stop him from posting it. Long time readers know that I’ve brought this sort of thing up before, but it’s worth reiterating: reality, truth if you will, is far more important than ideology, religious zealotry, or any other illusion we care to foster, because reality is what we must live with, while all the others are merely fanciful – and often damaging – thoughts on how things ought to be.
Which is why I, with many, many others, have so little use for Fox News.
