Important Stuff -- Or Not: What Was He Thinking?

What Was He Thinking?

It seems that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has been lying for nearly 40 years about being drafted by the Kansas City A's in 1966. For nearly four decades, Richardson, often mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate, has maintained he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics.
But an investigation by the Albuquerque Journal found no record of Richardson being drafted by the A's, who have since moved to Oakland, or any other team.
"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," he said.
What??? I would think if I were drafted by a major league baseball team, I'd remember it, I wouldn't have to research it. I still remember at the age of two when I took a slug of peppermint schnapps, thinking it was water. Yowza. This reminds me of Bill and Hillary's numerous lies about their past. They lied even when they didn't have to lie. Why do these people tell lies that can be so easily proved to be falsehoods? Have they no sense of propriety or shame? Are they sociopaths? In their bizarro world, are their lies true to them? Well, I guess it's time for me to come clean too. After researching the matter, I have come to the conclusion that I: Was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Did not play the role of Rhett Butler in "Gone With the Wind" Did not invent the Internet Did not have sexual relations with that woman -- Monica Lewinsky Do not know who played Lumpy on "Leave it to Beaver" Am not Batman Whew! That's enough baring of my soul for one day. This coming clean is hard work. I guess from now on I'll take the stance of Bill and Bill and wait till someone finds out I'm lying before I confess.

Pragmatician said...: I don't remember who but someone once said "there's no thing as bad publicity" basically by telling lies and have them uncovered they end up in the media. Unlike Hollywood they cannot be seen with another starlet every other day, so this their way.; 4:06 AM
Lone Ranger said...: "Any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right." That used to apply only to entertainers. But I guess that's what politics has devolved to. Circus entertainment.; 8:00 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
