Communications Breakdown

This afternoon, I fell asleep while reading Craig Shirley's new book, Rendezvous With Destiny: Ronald Reagan and the Campaign That Changed America.

When I woke up, Glenn Beck was on TV, talking about this New York Times story that I blogged about yesterday. In his opening monologue, Beck explained that a key part of this story -- about the massive interest payments required by federal deficit spending -- was actually in his own Common Sense book, published five months ago.

Think about that. Today's front-page news for the New York Times was reported five months ago by a radio/TV talk-show host. Meanwhile, we're discovering that scientists have fudged the global warming data. And Florida Gov. Charlie Closet Crist is calling Marco Rubio a liar? Does Charlie's beard wife know about this?
