I know I am not the first to think it, but wouldn't it be an excellent idea if John Moore changes the name of his invisible website to: AIDS Truthiness.org

I bet his Alexa rank would soar!

The mock Comedy Central pundit Stephen Colbert's slinging of the word 'truthiness' caught on instantaneously last year precisely because we live in the age of truthiness.

Colbert explained "truthiness" when I interviewed him in January:

"It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything... What is important? What you want to be true, or what is true?... Truthiness is 'What I say is right, and [nothing] anyone else says could possibly be true.' It's not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There's not only an emotional quality, but there's a selfish quality."
