Originality Is One Of My Strongest Attributes…Or is it?

I have every confidence that I can be Original, Clever and/or Smart. I especially like to be Original.

In a burst of Original Thinking I came up with the following thought...

Lying to Congress is a Crime (a felony)

But

Lying by Congress is not a crime

I recently heard an Important and Powerful Member of Congress say, “Politicians running for office say a lot of things they do not mean”.

This was the response to a question about a particular politician doing the complete opposite after being elected from what he said he would do while he was campaigning.

To make it even worst this response was accompanied by a lot of smiling and laughing by the Important and Powerful Member of Congress.

Back to my Original Boast about My Being Original...

I decided to look up, “Lying by Congress” in Google. Google quickly came back at me and (as it usually does) gave me the total hits on “Lying by Congress”...

“About 35,600,000 Results”

It sure looks like a lot of other Original Thinkers beat me to it.

Would I kid u?
