The Year in Lies
Lies: They travel halfway round the world before the truth gets its boots on. If you don't tell them, you never have to remember anything. Ask me no questions and I won't tell you any. The year that now comes to an end was, like all years, riddled with them. Grand lies and small ones, grave ones and frivolous ones, true ones and false ones—check that. They were all false. Here is a list of some of them that really caught my attention.

Anthony Weiner: "My system was hacked."
James Murdoch: "I was not aware of [the extent of phone hacking] at the time."
Tokyo Electric Power Company: "We believe the reactor is not melting down or cracking."
Donald Trump: "In my mind, I have already decided [to run for president]. I am going to announce."
Herman Cain: "I've never acted inappropriately with anyone."
U.S. Government: Everything it said in the immediate aftermath of Osama bin Laden's death.
Rudy Giuliani: "You'll be one of the first ones I would marry."
Kardashian Family: "We didn't make a dime off Kim's wedding."
Everyone: "Toyotas are death rockets."
