When the Oxford English Dictionary ripped off our guy Stephen Colbert by naming "post-truth" the 2016 international word of the year, everyone was pissed. But we weren't pissed because "post-truth" obviously borrows heavily from the Colbert Report concept of truthiness. Nah.

"She will be a great leader representing us in the middle east as well as a symbol of the melting pot that is America." At the time of publication, the petition had nearly topped 4,000 signatures.
