I am telling a lie.
Was the above statement true or false?

I've thought about this issue here and there over the years. Is Dubya smarter than he looks? From what I've heard anecdotally, he really isn't smart. He's just manipulative and knows how to use his father's status to the limit.
Of course, I also think his lack of intellect is also his appeal. As the Democrats were cowering away in fear of Bill Clinton, the man left a "scandal-filled" presidency with a 60-70% approval rating. I think the American public is more interested in relating to a president, rather than having a smarter president. Like it or not, Clinton and Bush II seem to "appeal."
The odds of "ever" are in their favor.
Probably on a nearby military base. I don't think he would necessarily inconvenience himself by heading to the middle of nowhere.

I would assume that if we know it's pronounced wrong, then at least someone pronounces it correctly. Hence, there is no word "always" pronounced wrong.
But if you know any words that are commonly mispronounced, I'd be interested in reading them.

I answer questions. I'm not Sylvia Browne.
But the above statement is neither. I don't know what you're claiming to be true or false, and merely stating that you're telling a lie indicates nothing.

Having to hypothesize alone, I would say that Lee Harvey Oswald was hired by the mafia. Jack Ruby then killed him to prevent him from talking.
Organized crime was quite powerful in the early 1960s. Jimmy Hoffa surely knows that.

I don't know about that first question. I might be going to South Korea for at least a year now. I'm equally nervous and excited right now, because I get a chance for a new adventure (and I've always wanted to learn an Asian language. I hope to learn Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese before I die).
This is what I get for being unemployed for so long, despite having an education. I hope Presidents Reagan, Clinton, and both Bushs someday realize the long term damage they've done to our economy, in favor of deregulation, tax cuts, and quarterly corporate profits; and I'm not even talking about deficits. The same ease in which corporations in North went to the South for cheap labor in the 1980s will be the same ease in which they flee to Asia when China et al. strengthen their economies. We will then be to Asia what Europe is to the U.S. now: an expensive "old world" with persistent double-digit unemployment.
If we think that American education levels are going to prevent us from being disposed of, think again. South Korea has the largest number of Ph.Ds, per capita; and Japan has long reigned in electronic advancements. Additionally, while about half of Americans are still dealing with dial-up modems and broadband is still, on average, about 1-3 Mbps, South Korea leads with an average of 20 Mbps and the government is currently working on boosting that to 100 Mbps. They have the education potential and the infrastructure.
Sure, the U.S. might have invented the internet, cars, VHS, etc. and Japan just ran with it, but that's old news. Look at the cameras and recording standards that they've developed *now.* They've also been ahead of the game with hybrid vehicles and Germany has generally been the pioneer in fuel-cell technology. We can't rely on our past accomplishments forever.
What is the U.S. inventing anymore? What happened to our sense of adventure? Is it all about short-term corporate profits now? Because that'll bite us in the ass eventually. At this point, it's not a matter of "if." It's a matter of "when." I hope that, someday, we get leadership willing to wake up to this fact, and stop obsessing over "marriage amendments."
But I really digress. What a rant I've developed here!
I attended the Detroit show of PopMart (which blew me away beyond my wildest expectations). For Elevation, I went to Columbus and Chicago. It was fun, but didn't blow me away like PopMart did.

How shy are you?

Haha...she's a regular psychic on "Montel," a daytime talk show here. I see you're from Columbia, so I guess you're forgiven for not knowing about her. Here's her official site:

I vacillate. I get genuinely frustrated with truly shy people, because then I generally find myself talking too much. But, according to outgoing people, I'm probably a bit shy.
Overall, when I get to know someone well enough to be able to joke around with them, then I'm outgoing.
