Facts are stupid things

My God, can't the repukes ever stop lying??

Let's just get this out of the way first -- Obama did not delay [last night's] World Series game, as has been widely reported and even mocked by John McCain.

Ben Smith at Politico provides a fact-check: the first pitch [was] not delayed, but rather, there just [wasn't] a pregame show. So all Obama [did was] pre-empt Joe Buck -- and I think red and blue states can be thankful for that.

By the way, George reminds me that the NFL season opener was moved up an hour because of a certain someone's acceptance speech to the RNC.
