Thank you for noticing... 
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

...I am not yet certain whether Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin are temious or vile. One could think of them as vilemious?

How does 'temious' differ from 'truthy'?

How does 'temious' differ from 'truthy'? First, and most obvious, is that temious appears to be a real word, not a modern slang attempt at expressing something lamely due to a lack of education in language arts. Second, temious is more bare-knuckled and disrespectful - noble qualities in forum street fighting. From the Urban Dictionary: "Truthiness: The quality of stating concepts one wishes or believes to be true, rather than the facts." "Temious: Made up, fabricated. Something which sounds true but has no basis in fact or reality." In temious, one may, or not, wish a thing to be true... it's more of a cage match thing.

I find your discussion both truthy and temious.

Logtroll, I write, timorously, to congratulate you on your temerarious temerity in trying such a titanic dissimulation on this site and its tenants. While some might find it mendacious, I think it a testament to your tremendous tenacity, and a lack of tendentious trendency. Let me offer an officious felicitate testimonial to your attainment.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

and with temporary temerity of a somewhat tempered tempestuousness, I might add.
Take the nacilbupeR pledge: I solemnly swear that I will help back out all Republicans at the next election.
