I guess a lot of comic-book adaptations strive for realism. Christopher Nolan is making Batman seem very real and very serious.
The most remarkable thing about Calvin Coolidge is that he served for 67 months, and when he left office, the budget was lower than he came in. In real terms - in nominal terms with vanilla on top - he cut the budget year over year.
The degree of monetary policy ease should be associated with the level of real interest rates, not nominal interest rates.

An artist, under pain of oblivion, must have confidence in himself, and listen only to his real master: Nature.
Occupy Wall Street is a real movement.
College didn't stick, so I worked odd jobs, but I've always written songs and played music. I actually met a guy who was a songwriter, which I didn't realize was a real job.
