Résumé fraud and résumé padding is akin to lying. Unserious positions on serious issues facing California and the country is immature and incautious “I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.”—Friedrich Nietzsche It is too bad there is no referee calling fouls and issuing penalties to politicians and candidates who lie. Even today’s political fact checkers aren’t always reliable. So it’s up to voters to sort through the noise.
