I thought of you this morning when I read the story someone posted from NewsMax about one of their "freelance reporter" claiming to have seen Obama in church on one of the infamous Sundays. He wrote this in Aug of last year, so the lie was already out there, but it didn't take long for the shameless NewsMax to find it and post it as the "truth".

The Obama camp quickly disproved it with evidence that Obama was actually in Florida on that Sunday speaking. I hope he has kept excellent records.

I've just started The FOunding Mothers by Cokie Roberts, and laughed last night when I read this quote from Esther Burr, mother of Aaron Burr:

"NOthing discourages me so much about our public affairs as the growing divisions between the provinces...Our assemblies.. are extremely divided and set against their governors" and "I conclude you have seen in the NY Mercury (newspaper) such a horrid pack of lies I suppose were never put together before in this country."

Sounds like not much changes...
