"No importa . . . "
And BTW, "Baby Huey Smokes an Anti-Pipeload" has to be one of the greatest route names in creation.

Crazy is relative and so is B*. In the case that I am speaking of, total lie. I'm handling this one on a case by case basis though. ;-)

When someone says, " With all due respect . . . "
Or my favorite: "I'm just being honest!" People always use that one when they want to say something cruel and hurtful.

The 9-11 fable.
Box cutters
Collapse of the towers
The Pentagon
War on terror (sic)
Iraq
Afganistan
Homeland security
and on
And we're still
paying the price in willful denial.
But still, that has to be second to
The virgin birth

Oooooh!
That's a good one Jay.
I think that trumps Clinton and Paulson.

"...the settlement of the Czechoslovakian problem, which has now been achieved is, in my view, only the prelude to a larger settlement in which all Europe may find peace. This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine (waves paper to the crowd - receiving loud cheers and "Hear Hears"). Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you ...".
'"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time."
Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister
30 September 1938.
I think we all know how the story ended...
Yeah, another brilliant move by a conservative.

Not THE most outrageous one but def a lie I was told:
"I'm a Daoist"
Ironically, another caucasian dude I climbed with later that summer never claimed to be Daoist, but he behaved sorta Daoish & could discuss (& read!) it in Mandarin Chinese.

A coworker once told me he shot and killed a rapist and the cops came and told him to go away. Same dude told me he fell 50 feet from a helio and was not hurt. Some tough Marine, yes?
I got a feeling he was a cook.

Congressional Oversight Panel nearly outright calls Paulson a liar.
“Last fall, Treasury sold the American public on the TARP program by claiming that it would help banks while protecting taxpayers. Secretary Paulson described the transactions as ‘at or near par’—that the value the assets Treasury received was roughly equal to the money being spent. But that didn’t happen. Treasury got less than it spent.” said Elizabeth Warren, the Chair of the Oversight Panel. “Treasury should have leveled with the American people about the purpose of the program. It’s time to explain what’s happened so that we can have a good, old-fashioned debate about whether this is the smartest way to spend our money.”
The press release is OK. The executive summary of the report is better.
