Like that? I just heard it on CBS news. A "fact sheet" about Rumsfeld. It sure sounded like a list of talking points to me.

Since when is a list of opinions called a "fact sheet"? LOL

So Orwellian.

1. Orwellian... I'm almost finished reading 1984 (15 more pages). OMG!

2. When I first read it in 1966, with my literature class in HS, we laughed
at the absurdity of it all :(

3. How sad....
1984 came true in our lifetime in the United States. Everyone assumed that Orwell was writing about the Soviet Union or Hitler's Germany.
