Most people that see a constitution facebook group would assume it was a fair and even minded group of individuals positing well thought out and enlightened opinions on the document. One would never think that a group (especially on facebook.com) dedicated to the constitution would be filled with right wing hacks complaining about the Obama administration and liberal policies in general. One would expect such a group on facebook.com to be extra dedicated to truth, fairness, well documented arguments, and a desire to hear all sides.
I was only congratulating you because, upon uncovering the shocking and unexpected ugliness of the facebook constitution group, you set those people straight.
Recently an acquaintance of mine tuned into Fox News on the television. Instead of finding fair and balanced news, she was stunned that their coverage seemed to exhibit an ever so slight bias against liberals. This from a cable news network advertising fair and balanced news reporting! She was tempted to contact the network managers to bring to their attention that some of their employees were presenting a biased view of current events, but in the end she lacked the courage and the zeal to do so.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

The second estimate seems most likely to me, but you must pick one to win the pool.

If I have to choose one, I'll be generous and give you a full two weeks, starting from this reply.

Good enough, but apparently the pool is off (just as well, others have been more harsh than I.)

As of an hour or so ago, it is still going, and, according to Stephen, will continue.

Sorry, was my response to the "Constitution" group created just to savage liberals too strong?

Your acquaintance is blessed to live in a country not (yet) governed by Fox.
