    "Sorry, Videos are not available in your country" it says (with the strange capital 'V' after the comma). I'm in the UK.

    I've seen this word "truthiness" banded around. Could you give a summary of what it's used to mean?

    Colbert's closing line is better than the whole Wikipedia article. "I'm not going to tell the truth to you, I'm going to feel the truth at you."

    Thanks both. Yes, MT's quote sums it up nicely though you have to understand what the Colbert Report is all about (parody of Fox, etc) which I'd previously surmised but wasn't sure about and which the Wikipedia article clarified nicely.

    Word verification: "witingot" is somehow appropriate.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
