I recently updated a blog post that I started in an effort to get my 
head around modern-day Conservatism. Among what my research turned up 
was this gem:
> The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality."

Increasingly, it seems our government is divorced from empirical 
reality. Isn't that characteristic of psychosis?
