I've been wondering what would become of LiePie.com after the November 4th election. Barack Obama has been the most popular topic in our Lie Piebrary since we launched back in July. We've received more lie pies about Barack Obama than any other subject, and we've received more visits from search engine results containing keywords and key phrases related to Barack Obama than any other subject. Now that the election is over and Barack Obama has been elected, would folks find other things to lie about? Would we see a decrease in site traffic? The truth might surprise you. The good news is that the number of inaccurate viral emails about Barack Obama we've received since the election has plummeted compared to the number we received in the months leading up to the election. Good thing, because your granny got so fed up with all the lying at election time I was ready to look for a new line of work. I welcome a respite from the despicable vote robbers and election cheats who've apparently all crawled back to their putrid swamp until the next election cycle. The bad news is that lots of folks appear to be concerned that Barack Obama might be the anti-christ. We've seen a huge jump in the number of visits to LiePie.com from search engine results containing keywords and key phrases with variations of "Barack Obama" and "antichrist." Obama the Antichrist? (A man will come from the east) has been in the Lie Piebrary since August 1st with little fanfare. No sooner than the election result was announced, it gained new life and shot ahead of our most popular lie pies and now sits at number one on our "most popular" list. I find it worrisome that so many folks are concerned that our President Elect might be the Beast of Revelation. It might be hard for Obama to get buy-in on his agenda if folks think he is under the control of Satan. Nobody wants to grease the skids for the apocalypse, honey. So depending on your point of view, 60 democratic votes in the Senate might mean mountains on fire, asteroid showers, stinging locusts, an assault of deadly solar flares and galactic cosmic rays, earthquakes, a demonic army destroying a third of the human race, etc. Gridlock, anyone?
