Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Reality, fact, truth, call it whatever you like, is completely irrelevant to the most politically polarized members of the conservative wing of the Republican party.
Political debate and argument for them is just a means to an end. Hypocrisy appears to be a badge of honor.
And Obama thinks he can have some type of bipartisan detente with this group.
