Politics Page
This forum is a departure from my usual faire, but
I hope you enjoy it. Whether you like what I have to say or you
fundamentally disagree with me, I'd like to hear your reactions so please don’t
hesitate to comment on my Facebook page. If you think I have my facts
wrong, by all means, find a citation and let me know about it there, too.
Thanks!

I’ve posted a database of Politifact
(politifact.com) stats. That website grades the statements of each
politician, pundit and organization as either true, half true, false or “pants
on fire” lies. The Politifact site makes the
distinction between true and mostly true (likewise false and mostly false) but
I do not. Additionally, in the percentages, I have apportioned a half
point to both true and false columns for each “half true” statement made.
The “pants on fire” comments are included in the percentage of false
statements, but I thought it was useful to give them their own column since
these are generally outright lies that could easily be fact-checked.
Enjoy!
