Tomorrow’s “Honesty Day,” Everybody
This month started with dishonesty, white lies, trickery, with our “Annual Whistleblower Apology E-dition” to celebrate April Fool’s Day, so we’re trying to end the month on a slightly higher note. Tomorrow’s “national holiday” supposedly encourages honesty in the workplace and the marketplace and to honor the honorable” with a focus on “a nationwide emphasis this coming year on honesty to prevent the increasing examples of lying and fraud that are harming society and damaging our nation’s quality of life,” according to the holiday’s creator, M. Hirsh Goldberg, former press secretary to a governor of Maryland.- Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says people were asked to rank professions in terms of who is the most honest in the 2012 Gallup Annual Honesty and Ethics Poll. Nurses topped the list, along with pharmacists, medical doctors, engineers, dentists, and police officers.
Still the least honest and ethical among us were Car salespeople, Members of Congress, and advertising practitioners.
Whistleblower researchers have been working around the clock trying to find an “Honest Elected Official” among today’s office holders. The only ones who’ve ever come close to being honest have always been voted out of office for trying to tell the truth.
That’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose Ronald Reagan’s “I’m not smart enough to lie.”
- Also, 19th Century American politician Simon Cameron said, “An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought,” and American comedian Joey Adams said, “An honest politician is one who’s never been caught.”
- But nobody would find anything anybody in the Obama Administration has ever had to say about “Honesty.” And it’s no small wonder, especially after Obama’s White House Spokes Dweeb Jay Cardboard went on TV last week to claim “I never lie.” Edward Cropper nailed that one.
Award Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception was also able to capture Obama at a moment of supreme duplicity.- Remember the day before Disingenuous DemocRATS passed Obama’s Health Care legislation? Obama said “I was tooling through some of the writings of some previous presidents, and I came upon this quote by Abraham Lincoln: ‘I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true. I’m not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what light I have.’ “According to NPR, the Lincoln quotation was stirring. It was also bogus. And there is no documentary evidence that Lincoln ever said any such thing. That means Obama even lied about a quote he stole from Honest Abe. Oh, the Irony!
Artis Conception has always found “Honesty in Politics” (or the lack thereof) a favorite subject. Just ask Defeated, Corrupt, Evicted, Lying, Plagiarizing, Meddling, Overblown, Bought-And-Paid-For, Tax-And-Spend, Wrinkle-Puss RINO Bitch-In-A-Ditch “Mean Jean” Schmidt. “Dishonesty” is only one of the items on her rap sheet. Her “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire” was telling it like it was.
Charles Foster Kane has always prized “honesty” above all else. That’s why Artis once depicted Our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher as Diogenes, searching for the Truth many years ago at Cincinnati City Hall.- At yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Kane why The Blower always has so much to say about “Dishonest Politicians.” Maybe it’s because there are always so many to choose from. God must really love dishonest politicians because he made so many of them.
- And our endless list of weekly disclaimers always includes: “Sometimes The Blower questions a person’s motives to show that dishonesty of any kind is not appropriate in our society. This should be clear to anybody who isn’t an elected official.”
- Take Friday’s Central Committee Meeting of the so-called Ohio Republican Party, for example. Not only did they elect Tax Scofflaw Matt Borges to be their new Party Boss, but the ORP was also supposed to affirm the National Republican Party platform and they wouldn’t even vote on it, because it would be “too controversial.” That’s how empty the ORP is these days.
Tea Party Rabble-Rouser Tom Zawistowski says they can’t be the force of change our nation needs to stop the insidious assault on our values and core beliefs by the “regressive” left. Tom got an early start on Honesty Day when he talked to reporters after losing his bid to become chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. He said Tea Party groups will oppose Republicans who push Medicaid expansion, gay marriage, and other issues and left open the possibility that some could form a third party.
Maybe that’s why “Honesty” came first in Kane’s “Declaration of Principles” that appeared in a box on the front page of the December 4, 1990 edition of the Whistleblower, when Kane was first named publisher.
Back then, Kane promised also Whistleblower readers would be getting the truth quickly and entertainingly. “And no special interests would be allowed to interfere with that truth,” Kane added.
- So today, with only 1,361 more days of the most Dishonest Administration in the History of the World, where else besides The Blower could you go to find a little honesty on “Honesty Day.” But if you’re looking for Something Completely Dishonest, You could always check out 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner ‘House of Cards’ Intro at the bottom of the page.
This is the Official Honesty Day E-dition. Any other so-called Official Honesty Day Day E-ditions you might see are surely fake!
