New post type - Common Misconceptions
Today while sweeping I was hit by a new concept for posts on the blog. It sort of bridges Facts of the Day, historical topics and cultural commentary in what I hope will be an interesting forum. I plan to take something that is generally held as truth or common knowledge and reexamine the basic facts behind the assumption. Some of the topics I was thinking about were, "Are Americans the only people who refer to soccer by that name?", a very timely "Do price controls on commodities help the consumer?" or if I feel really brave "The underlying facts of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict." I hope that most will more light-hearted than that but it's one of the issues that comes to mind. Also if you have a suggestion for a topic, I'll give it a shot.

If you can answer this, Matt, you will be my hero two times over. I like were you're going with this theme.
Hey now Mark! I don't feel qualified to take on these weighty issues. I'll just stick to simple, cut and dried stuff like presidential politics.
