You lie~!!!

Senator Joe Wilson of South Carolina boldly called President Obama on his health care comments. "You Lie!!!" he blurted out! Pelosi and Biden looked at him like he had just pulled a smoking gun on the President. I can barely sit through a speech to Congress with the grunts and groans, the standing o's, the lap signs, the stone faces, and the lack of partisan politeness. I know this is not 17th century France here, but these are men in suits acting like bullies to the pulpit. After all, Obama is the President, so let him have his moment to express his views. The camera will be on your face soon enough after Fox airs all the rebukes and rebuttals.

A lie is to state something that one knows to be false or that one has not reasonably ascertained to be true with the intention that it be taken for the truth by oneself or someone else. Maybe the President when addressing congress should be hooked up to a polygraph. Sort of like that Fox game show 'Moment of Truth'. We have the studio audience, a star, and a big national audience. Bells and whistles could sound out everytime a lie was detected. I always have regarded politicians as To tell the truth paneleists anyway...My name is....my name is....my name is...cause from one day to next you never know what you're going to get. Reminds me of a line in Forest Gump: "Oh, yes sir. Bit me right in the buttocks. They said it was a million dollar wound, but the army must keep that money 'cause I still haven't seen a nickel of that million dollars. "


So many lies. Bold faced, White, Contextual, Perjury, Fabrication.....
Lies are something everyone has done. People generally want words of appeasement Sometimes the truth of matters is far too hard to roll off our tongues.. We lie to kids early~! Tell them Santa and Rudolph will eat the cookies, babies come from storks, and it is Wheaties that makes that player hit the home runs.

Here are a few lies in pop culture~

Jim Carey in 'Liar Liar' not being able to lie for 24 hours (should try it sometime!)

Pinnochio and that nose...(our noses don't grow, but our eyes tell tales)
