War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. (or, A Thoughtcrime For The Day.)

See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.

-- George W. Bush, May 24, 2005

One thing to be said for Orwell's thoughtcrimes, though...unlike with the President's doublespeak, no soldiers died as a result. (Even Winston was spared, as you'll recall. Don't recall? Read the book...or be banished to Room 101. Don't know where that is? Read the book, dammit, read the book.)
