Gore To Stand Up Against "Truthiness" With Upcoming Book
Click here to read the entire article.

<snip>

Al Gore continues to fight back against "truthiness."

The former vice president's next project is a book, The Assault On Reason, to be published next spring.

Sounds like another, much-needed effort to fight the fact that we live in an age when a group of people -- loosely known as the "conservative media" -- have woefully misinformed their viewers and listeners.

1. Ummm
Al does know that "truthiness" is a word made up by Stephen Colbert (of Hungarian bridge fame) doesn't he?

Gore himself doesn't use the word "truthiness." although, to be fair, "truthiness" has become a very popular word.

They both have such wonderful dry humor.
