New word for 2006, so we are told, is "truthiness". The perfect word for those choosing to skirt the facts. Our politicians will likely embrace this word like no other. We are told its meaning lies somewhere between fact and fiction, hence the perfect ally of politicians. I guess this means it is ok to tell what was formerly referred to as "white lies". This is absolute nonsense! Anything less than the whole truth, i.e. truthiness, is akin to nothing at all. If we are going to communicate stories, then let it be told exactly that. Stories masquerading as fact is not communication.
