My vote for this year’s word of the year goes to Truthiness, coined by the inimitable Stephen Colbert. It refers to a form of truth created strictly by emotional feel, usually a feel informed only by a barrage of spin-meisters and over-inflated talking heads.

The power of Truthiness has been in full force the last few years – we even went to war based on it. But if I’m sensing the national mood right, we’re getting a little tired of Truthiness. We’re hungry for a dollop of rational decision making based on adult-level thinking, the kind that acknowledges verifiable facts, along with gray areas, doubt, and sometimes even – gasp – compromise.
