Stephen Colbert
“Truthiness,” Justice, and the American Way

Update from GW Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management (OPSEM)

Members of The George Washington University Community are encouraged to be vigilant when traveling by foot or vehicle on or near Pennsylvania Avenue between 19th Street (Foggy Bottom) to 30th Street (Georgetown) on Friday evening, October 19, 2007 between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. If possible, avoid this area.

OPSEM has been made aware of a planned demonstration near the Foggy Campus on Friday evening beginning at Washington Circle and proceeding to Georgetown. We expect a significant and visible police presence in anticipation of this demonstration.

A large police presence is also expected in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood throughout the World Bank/IMF meetings which end early Monday evening.

Plan accordingly -- road closures are expected and traffic delays are likely.

The Fall World Bank/International Monetary Fund (IMF) meetings will be held in Washington, D.C., Friday, Oct. 19, through Monday, Oct. 22.

GW will remain OPEN and will operate on a normal schedule.

For road closures and changes to pedestrian access and parking near the GW Campus, please visit: GW Alert

Stephen Colbert keeps a straight face on The Colbert Report. Keeping his facts straight is a whole other thing, however. The host of the Comedy Central show coined the word “truthiness,” for example. It means information that Colbert wishes were true. N

Not that he’s making a point about newscasters. “My friends tell me that Colbert’s mimicry of the narcissistic, preening, puffed-up personalities who inhabit TV news these days is spot on,” NBC news anchor BrianWilliams wrote in Time last year. “Personally, I don’t see it.” There’s no doubt about this faux news pundit’s popularity.

The show has been nominated for Emmy Awards and other media-industry honors, and Colbert is the first TV personality to have had a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor named for him: “Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream.” This evening, Colbert keeps it real (we think) as he discusses his new book, I Am America (And So Can You!).
