A Do or a Don't: Lying For Someone You Love
Though I’ve certainly been let in on some big secrets throughout the years, fortunately I’ve never been put into a position where I’ve been forced to lie on someone’s behalf, because honestly, I’m not sure I could do it. A white lie is one thing, but serious lies make me nervous. Still, I’m sure much of it depends on the person and the circumstance.
Dear Poll: Do You Ever Lie to Get Out of a Commitment?
Life is hectic, and it’s all too easy to sign on for more than you can or want to handle. Fortunately, I’ve practiced saying no often enough to avoid locking myself into an obligation I know I’ll regret later. Though I’m sure we’re all the type to try our best and follow through on commitments, every once and a while, when the time comes, it's normal to not feel up to making the effort.
You Asked: My Ex Lied to Me About His Sexual History
Dear Sugar,
I was with my ex-boyfriend for 11 months, and we had sex after six. I was a virgin at the time and didn't feel ready to have sex yet. He had told me that he was also a virgin, and we had numerous talks about how I believed premarital sex was wrong; his view was that if it was with the right person for the right reasons, it couldn't be wrong.

Do Tell: What's the Last Lie You Told?
I've yet to see Ricky Gervais's new movie The Invention of Lying, but I can't escape the commercials! Every time I see an ad about the movie's imaginary universe where lying is impossible, I wonder: could I go without lying?
I then search my mind for all the big lies or small fibs I might have told in the past.
Where Do You Stand: White Lies
A white lie, by its definition, is one without ill-intent, but still, even the most innocent lie can bloom into something much larger and damaging than you intended. Admittedly, I use a white lie every now and again to protect someone’s feelings, but even then I feel a wave of guilt — so am I protecting their feelings for them or for me? It seems that lying in any form just isn’t OK.
Do Tell: Your Little White Lies
We are all guilty of telling little white lies from time to time, it is just human nature, and although it isn't smart to get into the habit of fibbing, it happens. But when you're on a first date, 37% of you said you are not 100% truthful to the man you are with, so whether it's lying about your age or how you spend your Sundays, ladies do tell, what is the worst lie you have ever told on a first date?

Should I Be Worried About His Little White Lies?
Dear Sugar
My husband and I got married a year and a half ago and we are deeply in love, however, we’ve seem to have headed into unfamiliar territory and it’s upsetting to both of us. We used to fight infrequently, and lately all we do is bicker. I am saddened that there is this distance between us right now because I know how much we really do love and care for each other.
White House Commends Jim Cramer Roast on The Daily Show
Thursday's roast on The Daily Show made it into Friday's White House press briefing. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked if the White House believed it was the obligation of journalists to call out lies as Jon Stewart did to the CNBC host. While he wasn't sure if President Obama saw it (though he did talk him about watching it beforehand), he "thoroughly enjoyed" it.
Did Any Of These "Effects" Have Any Effect?
Leading up to the election, talk of the Bradley effect was all over the place — everyone was watching to see whether in the privacy of the voting booth, people would really pull the lever (or fill in the arrow) for the first black president. Then there was talk about the "Obama effect" — people voting for him because of his race rather than his qualifications. Since Barack Obama's decisive victory, neither theory has been thrown around too much, but there's a new effect in town.
