  • Truth is good for health - Listen up Betty.

    "Lying less actually improves our mental and physical health.

    They asked a group of people to stop telling lies for 10 weeks and told
    a control group to continue as normal.

    The group of truth-tellers reported fewer instances of poor mental
    health..."

    "The average American tells 11 lies a week."

    Here's something I never thought I would say; Betty is well above
    average for an American.

    Look after yourself Betty; stop lying.

    " ... there is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible & he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second & third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, & truths without the
    world's beleiving him."

    Truer works never spoken my erudite friend.

    He is nothing but talking point after talking point. He listens to Fox and other right wing propaganda agencies, and just repeats what he hears. Has this poor man ever had an original thought?

    There is no Red Wave, that is pure fiction. Yes Bigbird, there will be significant wins for the right, but it is just replacing swamp creatures with new faces. It never changes. Of course. Betty will repeat his talking points and say different. You
    got his number, we all do.
