FOX: We Report, You Shut Up

It's not just Dana Perino, WH Press Secretary who got 'confused' about the Cuban missle crisis.

I heard a Donna look-alike announce on Fox a day ago that Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, "setting the stage for the Civil War".

Boggle. Life is always more strange than fiction.

The Internet is a great resource. Here's a chronology.

The Proclamation, as best as a non-historian of the period, like me, might understand it: An exercise of the President's Article 2 Powers.

Bush's Article 2 assertions? Torture? Domestic spying? How far the party has come, eh, under the Reagan Devolution?
