      Hannity is not only sloppy, but he must sleep under that rock called " FOX News ". Way to go Rupie boy, splendid job of taking care of your little enterprise's credibility. You are left with a broken recor man. Time for beer.

      Completely random and barely related

      Olbermann used the term "bald-faced lie".

      I've heard this term many times, often said quickly so that I couldn't quite catch what was said.

      I originally thought the term was "bold-faced lie". Now, I BELIEVE I've heard both "bold-faced" and "bald-faced".

      Are they both acceptable and commonly used? Or is one right and the other wrong, and if so, which one?

      I can't figure it out because A) they sound so much alike, and
      B) both make sense.

      "Bald-faced" makes sense in that it implies the lie is so outrageous that it's plainly seen, so it's bald-faced in that there is no hair or whatever to block the view.

      "Bold-faced" (and that term is used in other contexts to describe the actual use of Bold script in word processing) makes sense in that it implies the lie is so outrageous that it clearly stands out, much as bold-faced type does.

      Input anyone? (And don't bother pointing out that I spend way too much time thinking about this; Believe me I am already aware LOL).

        bald faced lie was the original saying, meaning that a lie was harder to tell without a beard. Bold faced is also used lately , meaning that a lie that is bold faced(like typing dark) stands out. Stolen from Wiki

      The only thing out of balance with these awards is that Lou Dobbs doesn't work for FOX News...yet.

      Shooting fish in a barrel is harder than it looks I've tried.

        All you have to do is keep reducing the size of the barrel until it gets easier.
