The reality based community strikes back

According to the much blogged about piece in the Sunday NYT Magazine by Ron Suskind, the Bush Empire isn't much on logic, reason and reality:

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.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''

Creating their own reality? Schitzo is as schitzo does, apparently.

And while we're on the subject of reality, here's a dose for W, a la Kerry.
