Truthiness

[Guest guest]

Truthiness, is of course, not a true word.

It was coined by a political satirist to poke

fun at what government officials would

like you to think that facts really mean.

 

Like we are winning when we kill

10,000 terrorist at the cost of $300 billions.

Any fool can see this comes to a prize tag

of $300,000 per terrorist. Any fool can see,

that terrorists get replaced at no cost to the

enemy, while the cost to kill them

is devastating to our economy. Thuthiness

is spinning those facts into meaning that

by so doing, we are being stedfast, supporting

our troops, honoring our dead patriots, and

that eventually, by being economically stupid, we

will prevail. Evidently, comedians know more

about strategy than presidents.

 

In fact, truthiness goes beyond politics. Most

of what you read here is not the truth, but the

truth as someone would like you to see it.

 

p.s. Before you bother to tell me, I'm not

exempted from that rule.
