The Election

The election time-of-year always drives me nuts. I always think that what it boils down to is whichever candidate's lies you feel you can live with, you vote for.

A helpful site to sort out all the lies is Fact Check. To quote the site,

"We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer advocate" for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews, and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding."

It's worth checking out, especially when we are being bombarded by political advertising. And as November approaches, it's not going to get any better. :D
