The inflationary nature of lies
I suppose most adults know that a small lie can spin out of control, but, well, whoa.

How about "That's definitely not a bow"....or..."95% of Americans will get a tax break"....or...."We don't want to run General Motors"....or..."He wasn't the guy I thought he was"...or..."Mr. Ayers is just a friend in the neighborhood"....or..."Born in Hawaii".....etc., etc. etc....
The Australian is an amateur...

I can remember another perjury that hinged on the meaning of the word "is." Talk about tragedy.
I can still hear the echoes of: "You cannot impeach a president for lying about a BJ." I always asked: “Why not? Isn’t perjury simply perjury, no matter why the highest office holder in our land lied?” Tragic flaw...it’s a lot worse than lying about a traffic ticket.
Sounds like the Aussies got another thing right.

Seems appropriate to mention "Look behind you, Mr. President, there's no one following."
How many times has anyone ever seen VP Biden dress someone down in person versus how many times he has claimed to do so?

Don't overlook the entertainment factor with Biden. He really is Obama's "Ed McMahon" with the added plus of being living, breathing asassination insurance.
I suppose, if he ever became President, we could at lease have a few chuckles along the way as the Democrats drive the country into the ground like a lawn dart!
