 PolitiFact
PolitiFact
I know this may come as a shock, but politicians have been known to lie, stretch the truth, and even be completly honest at times.
Problem is, how can you tell the difference. One way is FactCheck, another is PolitiFact. The Truth Is Out There. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

 Jiddu Krishnamurthy: Truth is the vast ocean which has not been charted: it is fathomless
Jiddu Krishnamurthy: Truth is the vast ocean which has not been charted: it is fathomless
Truth you have to find out for yourself; you have to walk the path alone—and there is no path to truth. Truth is the vast ocean which has not been charted: it is fathomless. You have to find it, walking endlessly, and the endlessness becomes a torture, a thing that you are frightened of, if you have not understood the beginning of what we have been talking about. picked by sudeoo 1 year ago

 The Truth About Barack Obama
The Truth About Barack Obama
Rather than restate untruths about Obama, the campaign would do better to start some rumors of its own.

Such as: Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the shower.

and: There's only one artist on Barack Obama's iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. picked by JoshSF49 5 months ago

 Software spots the spin in political speeches
Software spots the spin in political speeches
Technology is here to help. Software programs that analyse a person's speech, voice or facial expressions are building upon the work of researchers like Ekman to help us discover when the truth is being stretched, and even by how much. "The important thing to recognise is that politicians aren't typically good at out-and-out lies, but they are very adept at dancing around the truth," picked by bingo 2 months ago

 The truth* about Amaxophilia
The truth* about Amaxophilia [video]
Recently there have been a number of stories about amaxophilia, or as it is sometimes known, dirty, filthy car humping. See here and here for examples. This video gives an insight into the kind of person for whom Autotrader is best enjoyed alone. *May not actually be truth. May be a new(ish) sketch from Kids In The Hall . Who are apparently back.

Get Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" DVD free
The site's donors feel that "An Inconvenient Truth" is so grounded, so filled with integrity that they will send you the DVD. (If they REALLY wanted me to see it, they'd put it on YouTube.) picked by hypnotode 2 years ago

 Unsure of the facts, or sure and are getting questioned?
Unsure of the facts, or sure and are getting questioned?
I hope this hasn't been posted before, did a search but found nada.

Factcheck.org is a site where you can check your facts. Seems to be only political (non-partisan) at this time and only goes back to 2003, much to my chagrin. But still useful, especially in light of the upcoming elections. picked by dollyllama 1 year ago
