Lies and giving back

Mishlei Perek 19.
ה. עֵד שְׁקָרִים לֹא יִנָּקֶה וְיָפִיחַ כְּזָבִים לֹא יִמָּלֵט

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
With Lance Armstrong in the news, the N.Y. Post is running a poll to determine the greatest liar in history.  The poll is already starting out as a lie because the paper isn't giving the readers a chance to write in their own choice, but rather, readers get to choose from 10 candidates in the paper's list. Go here to vote and let's knock a fellow brother out of first place. Incidentally, my candidate for greatest liar did not make the Post's list.
 
To a different topic, for those of you who have benefited from Aish articles, why not show hakarat hatov and give back?

  1. The greatest liar is NOT the one who told the biggest lie - but rather the one who DOES SO AND SMILES AT YOU while he tells it AS EASILY AS HE BREATHS AIR !!

    And for those who still need a hint as to who that is - he's the guy that runs the U.S.A.!
