I am proud to say that I believe that solutions emerge from judicious study of discernible reality. Despite being a pagan, maybe because of the type of pagan I am, I can say that with a straight face.
Why does this come up, you might ask? In discussion with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kittenpants and featherynscale the other day, I discovered that they hadn't heard about a comment from the White House about "you're just working from a reality-based perspective". I somehow assumed everyone in my socio-political circle had heard the quote, so I had to go look it up:
Ron Suskind did an article for the New York Times entitled, "Without a Doubt" on Oct. 17th, 2004. (cached copy here). In it, he details ( this exchange )
The chaos magician comment comes from another blog I came across in the search, which compared Bush's faith-based Administration to Aleister Crowley and the chaos mages.
Sorry, folks: I was trying to find something cheerful to post, but it looks like today isn't that day.
