Then is doomsday near: but your news is not true.

Hamlet

Hamlet            Act II, Scene ii, Line 240

 This is Hamlet’s response to Rosencrantz’s comment that the world’s grown honest. I think my response would be similar. But hey, look at that: two days in a row we have the word true. Yesterday it was the first word of the line and today it’s the last. And of course we could go to great lengths talking about truth (or in many cases, lack of it) in the news today, but I don’t think it’s worth going off on that tangent, is it?  

Keats has some line about beauty is truth, and truth beauty. So here's some truth for you: The cliffs of Svalbard.
