doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies -- all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth. -- George Orwell, 1984

Rumsfeld Announces Discovery of Spears of Mass Destruction

Upset that you forgot to send so much as a Hallmark card to the Commando-in-Chief for his birthday last week? Fear not; I've found the perfect gift for your belated wishes. Granted, there's only one in the world, but many liberals are quite artistic, so perhaps you can put your wordworking tools to use, or crochet a reasonable facsmile.
