Fact Check? I'd Rather Not.

Oh, this is everything good in the world all in one topic! (Allright, chocolate is missing, so sue me.)

Here is the introduction to Dan "Fake but Accurate" Rather's book "America at War":

"Abraham Lincoln, author of a war we now regard as noble and necessary, perhaps put it best when he said: "There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy." "

Wow. That Abe. He was profound. (Well, he WAS.) Only this would not be a quote from Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States of America. This would be a quote from Eugene Wesley Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek.

Way to go Dan! Maybe protest signs and t-shirts aren't the best place to fact-check your book?
