The truth can hurt, bite you in the butt and be the biggest burden you carry when not shared. I lost a friend when I told him some hard news. It was better than facing his wife knowing the truth.

I get grilled all the time about spelling errors on websites. Guess what 30% of the people searching can't spell and are more likely to find you if you misspell some things on purpose. That is a truth that no one wants to know or admit.

When finding out that which is true yet disagreeable receive the truth the way Jay says to tell it, laugh it off and get over it.

Lincoln, THERE was a funny guy! Obviously, my grasp of XHTML is limited. There was supposed to be ital.

Not sure why so many ostensibly in the middle are so inflamed with anger at the prospect of a national health care bill, other than the fanning of those flames by the Right.

I mean going to war and not paying for it is fine–agreeable–to most, but helping those who for whatever reason, need it.

Guess it's easier to help out those at a distance than those nearby, too easy to ascribe some label like "lazy" or "slacker" to those in need here at home.

I suppose saying this makes me disagreeable, but I was taught to revere the truth.

It's best to be funny when telling the truth.

Franklin pulled it off. Not so sure about Washington.

Lincoln. was a funny guy!
