3. oh the sad irony...check this out from your link

The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush:

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 reality—judiciously, as you will—we'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."

4. That's the source of it - to my understanding. Later Atrios et al picked it up....

... to show what TRULY reality-based, as opposed to PROPAGANDA reality-based was like.

I guess when every thing you touch turns to shit, reality might not be where you want to live.
