Raiders of the Lost Art


A fine quote of the day:

"My complaint simply concerns the decay of the art of lying. No high-minded man, no man of right feeling, can contemplate the lumbering and slovenly lying of the present day without grieving to see a noble art so prostituted"

– Mark Twain

Seems like the art of the lie was in top form yesterday at the MJ memorial..."Greatest Entertainer Ever"..."Humanitarian"...ugh. One could make a case for alternates who would better fit each title, just from our lifetime--Frank Sinatra & Elvis for the former, and Mother Teresa & Princess Diana for the latter.

Agreed, some serious hyperbole being tossed around MJ. I find myself strangely fascinated by the lies regarding his medical condition though, the drug use, his mental state etc. This dude was one fucked up M----- F-----, no more, no less. And THAT'S the truth.
