Following on the heels of the State of the Union message, this seems like an opportune time to let folks know that I have greeting cards of this design, as well as prints, available on my website. While I plan to create more cards from some of my prints, the “Raw Truth – Plain Truth – Trumped Up Truth” are the only cards I currently sell.
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines “trumped up” as
- something that is fraudulently concocted or fabricated
- something that has been falsely created or exaggerated for self-serving purposes.
The same dictionary defines “truth” as:
- the body of real things, events, and facts
- the state of being the case
- a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality
- a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true
- the body of true statements and propositions
- the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality
- fidelity to an original or to a standard
- sincerity in action, character, and utterance
- constancy
Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words!
