"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that realityjudiciously, as you willwe'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.[3]"

This was back in 2004 and I remember reading that chilled me to the bone. What the fuck do you mean? How can you argue against facts?
Seems pretty prophetic now.

Must've meant her road husband.

(21,595 posts)Don't get me wrong, it ain't nobody's business - it's just funny coming from a man who practically built his political career on gay bashing and race baiting.

it was during the whole business about Scooter Libby.
It was, and still is, chilling in it's arrogance.
