Factchecking

Here's a good up-to-date resource on Factchecking. Consult after taking a dose of political bull.

Some abstracts:

* A new Moveon PAC ad implies machine-guns are becoming legal, which isn't true. And it blames Bush, even though Bush said he would have extended the ban on assault weapons.
* Kerry claims Iraq has cost "$200 billion and counting." Not yet, it hasn't.
* Bush falsely claims Kerry voted repeatedly to raise Medicare premiums. Kerry's spot blaming Bush alone for the latest increase isn't much better.
