I don't really care what excuses are used for
LYING - whether it is Clinton and sex or Bush
and WMD. What interests me is the remarkable
scale of female LYING: 95%. Even that it is 75%
for serious life-changing LIES. Also that
females don't seem to think that LYING is wrong.
Great! Now we know how you get past polygraphs -
don't we?
