Wisconsin supports liars!

Ran across this story from AP

BURLINGTON, Wis. — A quip that pokes fun at struggling banks has been named the top tall tale of 2009.

The Burlington Liars Club has bestowed its highest award for this line: "I just realized how bad the economy really is. I recently bought a new toaster oven and as a complimentary gift, I was given a bank."

The line gives Larry Legro of Sun Prairie the dubious — but serious — distinction of being this year's World Champion Liar. The 58-year-old health inspector says he's ecstatic.

A judge says Legro's lie won because it was both clever and topical.

The Liars Club began in 1929 after local journalists fabricated a story about a lying contest.

A runner-up entrant says this year's bug season is so bad that even a photograph of a dog had ticks.

What a sad state of affairs we're in when people are actually encouraging lying like that. Someone should shut that group down.

There is nothing clever or topical about lying.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Our God is a God Who laughs at misfortune,

Proverb:1:26: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

not the conceits of mankind and his irreverent attempt to lead others to frivolity.
