A Question of Truthiness
Posted by Rational Dreamer in random thoughts on April 17th, 2009
While we’re on the subject of Stephen Colbert (well, not really)…
Would you rather someone told you the “truth” or told you the “Truth”?
And what’s the difference anyway? Sticking a capital letter on the beginning of the word doesn’t make the truth being referred to any more true. In fact, I usually find that the opposite is true–or should that be True? I get so confused…
The Bias of Reality
Posted by Rational Dreamer in politics on April 17th, 2009
“Reality has a well known liberal bias.”
So sayeth the sharp-witted political wit, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert.
It is probably the most famous quotation to come out of his brilliant show, The Colbert Report, and it has the merit not only of being funny, but of having a large ring of truth about (or should I say “truthiness”?) too, at least it does in America.
