Can anyone out there remember how the media described the Clinton administration ten to 15 years or so ago? TRUTH was a common theme back then with terms like "truthfulness" and "truthteller." Bah! These "truthy" people were LIARS. Someone whom the media described as possessing "truthfullness" was lying from between his/her teeth. This is Clinton code, people, since they couldn't use the term "honest." You used the term "truthful" if you wanted others "in the know" to understand that this person was telling a yarn.
You can still apply this ideal to democratic objectives today. It is a little more convoluted today, however, but if you can see "An Inconvenient Truth" as "A Convenient Lie," then you are headed in the right direction. That's all this is. Thankfully, the people who get other people chattering about topics chose to get the chattering classes doing their jobs about the heat wave that Mars is experiencing currently after Algore gets an Oscar for his movie - "A Convenient Lie." Those of us who knew about this heat wave on Mars have know about it for the last five or ten years because we have kept our eyes open and brains working while scanning the Drudge Report or Yahoo News.
It just strikes me as odd that a big stink is made about it now!
