No More Lies

Of course Obama’s speech in Minneapolis came only 3 days after his very similar address to Congress, which has now become best known for its insanity and bigotry laced school yard accusation “YOU LIE” from South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson.

Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher both annihilated Wilson on their respective programs since the indicent. You can watch them below:

Bill Maher: Goes Off on Wilson at about minute 4

In the spirit of all these Lies how about we take a minute to remember the great song and amazing scene from the movie Once also titled Lies.

The song is performed by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who make up the band The Swell Season in real life. This duo will be performing in Minneapolis on December 5 at the State Theatre. Ok, this post has gone on long enough.
