Regardless of whether the next president is a Republican or Democrat, whether it's Barack Obama or Mitt Romney or any other of the Republican frontrunners, one thing is guaranteed: he will lie.

I was reminded again this week, as two of the men accused of playing a part in the murder of Stephen Lawrence were sent to prison, that there is an aspect of the human condition that is constant in us all. We, as a species -- are essentially liars.

The lies that chronic liars tell others are intriguing, but perhaps even more revealing are the lies they tell themselves. The road to big-time lying is paved with self-deception.

GOP 2012 contender Mitt Romney's recent ad has gotten a ton of attention from the press because it contains a brief clip of President Barack Obama saying these words, consecutively, in order: "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose." BOOM! What a clip, right? Why did Barack Obama say such a thing in public? Oh, that's right, he said those words consecutively and in order because back in 2008, an aide to John McCain said those words consecutively and in order, and Obama quoted that aide to use the words against McCain. As everyone points out, Romney's use of the words out of context is misleading. But it seems that what very few people are willing to say, as Too Much Joy once sang, is: "That's a lie. You're a liar."

I can't tell you how many times a married man has made an innuendo, suggestion or flat out reasoning for us to hook up.

Down in the hard wiring and chemistry of the brain's survival instincts, if you show someone a picture of Roger Clemens and talk about the charges that he lied, it's like showing them a picture of a snake.

Anyone can say anything. Anyone can come up with a line. With a gift bag gab of wisdom, knowledge and confidence, someone can really cover the world and be quite deceptive. There are those that do it. They make it bad for the rest.

Tiger and I have something in common other than (apparently) making love to porn stars. I, like Woods, am a compulsive cheater. Unlike Woods, I am in recovery for my intimacy issues.

Let's be clear. The Republicans are liars and hypocrites when it comes to controlling costs as part of health care reform.

A true friend is one who will tell you the truth whether or not you want to hear it, whether it might endanger the status quo of the friendship or not.

Due to a genetic deformity among conservatives, they are seemingly born without being able to spot irony in all its delicious forms.

Next time someone asks what you think of Sarah Palin, please don't just call her a "skilled politician" with a "compelling biography." Call her a liar, too. Here's how that would work.
