Happy St. Patrick's Day. Grab a bottle of Jameson's and a draught of Guinness. I think you're going to need it.

Here in the District, it's snowing. Really effing hard. Again. The city is shut down and Congress is out of session. Want to see how bad it is? Click here. The government has ground to a halt and snow in DC "proves" there is no global warming. Somewhere a teabagger is experiencing the ultimate in human pleasure.

Anyway, here's a few items floating around the Internet news machine today.

Two programming notes. First Congress Matters will be hosting an open thread discussion of the President's State of the Union Address. We expect it to be a little slower than the Daily Kos open threads.

Second, PE diarist Ministry of Truth will host right here a live discussion/interview with Joe Sestak who is mounting a primary challenge against Arlen Specter for the Democratic nomination for a Senate seat representing Pennsylvania.

120% of public think climate scientists lie about global warming says Fox FAIL and Balanced News

by: MinistryOfTruth

Tue Dec 08, 2009 at 17:44:55 PM CST

     I thought mistakes at Fox would have consequences?

    Guess not.

    Last week, Fox and Friends showed a Rasmussen poll graphic revealing that a whopping 120 percent of the American public believes scientists may be falsifying research to support their own theories on global warming:

ThinkProgress.org

    Fox News' graphics department added together the "very likely" and "somewhat likely" numbers to reach 59 percent, and called that new group "somewhat likely." Then, for some reason, they threw in the 35 percent "very likely" as their own group, even though they already added that number to the "somewhat likely" percentage. Then they mashed together the "not very likely" and "not likely at all" groups, and threw the 15 percent who were unsure into the waste bin. Voila - 120 percent.

Hat tip to MediaMatters.org

Some Bold text added by the diarist.

    More fun with inventing numbers below the fold . . .
