From my “Murphy’s Law” desk calendar archives thanks to Aunt Evelyn, Uncle Pipey, and cousin Nancy:

Lieberman’s Law: Everybody lies; but it doesn’t matter since nobody listens.

Goofy guy’s relatively serious comment on Lieberman’s Law:  This is one of my all time favorites, but seriously, it fits with a  recent New Yorker article on a Stanford study where folks given the truth contrary to what they believe will continue to believe what they did before and ignore truth, and i no longer wonder why our politics and many other facets of living are so screwed up.
