Kevin Drum gives us a chart for the day. Here’s the background:  Every morning I take a couple of short breaks from the keyboard to do  some stretching exercises that are designed to ease my neck and shoulder  pain. I usually turn on the TV while I’m doing this, and that’s pretty  much my entire exposure to Fox News. So what were they going on about a  few minutes ago while I stretched? The fact that people get really upset  when they hear that 51% of Americans pay no taxes. Well, I’d be upset too. Who the hell are these freeloaders? Answer: they don’t exist, of course.   Details here. Drum concludes: “I know we live in a post-fact environment, but those are the facts. Pass ‘em around.”  Please do.
