WTF better have some money left come Saturday night.
'When I make a word do a lot of work like that,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'I always pay it extra.'
'Oh!' said Alice. She was too much puzzled to make any other remark.
'Ah, you should see 'em come round me of a Saturday night,' Humpty Dumpty went on, wagging his head gravely from side to side, 'for to get their wages, you know.'
(Alice didn't venture to ask what he paid them with; and so you see I can't tell you.)

You provided the definition , so maybe you should pay.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't—till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!' "
"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
Alice was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again. "They've a temper, some of them—particularly verbs, they're the proudest—adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs—however, I can manage the whole lot! Impenetrability! That's what I say!"[22]
This passage was used in Britain by Lord Atkin in his dissenting judgement in the seminal case Liversidge v. Anderson (1942), where he protested about the distortion of a statute by the majority of the House of Lords. [23] It also became a popular citation in United States legal opinions, appearing in 250 judicial decisions in the Westlaw database as of 19 April 2008, including two Supreme Court cases ( TVA v. Hill and Zschernig v. Miller). [24]
It has been suggested by A. J. Larner that Carroll's Humpty Dumpty had prosopagnosia on the basis of his description of his finding faces hard to recognise. "The face is what one goes by, generally," Alice remarked in a thoughtful tone.
"That's just what I complain of," said Humpty Dumpty. "Your face is the same as everybody has—the two eyes,—" (marking their places in the air with his thumb) "nose in the middle, mouth under. It's always the same. Now if you had the two eyes on the same side of the nose, for instance—or the mouth at the top—that would be some help."[25]

Other critical reviews of Through the Looking Glass claim that Humpty Dumpty is nonsensically discussing semantics and pragmatics.

boardman do you think Humpty Dumpty is nonsensically discussing semantics and pragmatics?
I'm reminded of this scene in the Dirty Dozen... http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...9C7CBAD2A8E5F0
Was the General a General...to all, some or none?

Which is it never?
It started as a lie....which seems to fit your first quoted definition of. it always is a lie if it begins as a lie...yet when Bush tells it, it is no longer a lie.

I comprehend that you can not delineate anything other than black and white and seem to be have trouble doing that simple task.

A glimpse into the mind of a Bush apologist. Much like Bart Simpson

Perhaps Caroll's writings were to illustrate that some cannot distinguish the real world from Wonderland.
Is this Wonderland?

are you having comprehension issues?
it, just assuming it started as a lie, was a lie but bush didn't lie
but it remained a lie but for bush to lie he had to have known it was a lie
unlike the mantra "bush lied and ppl died" , where ppl know that is a lie yet they repeat it anyway
you have trouble with distinctions

Wonderland seems to be the real world for some of you...

So a lie that started as a lie and remained a lie was not a lie when told by Bush!
You are golden...Bart Simpson golden!
In my best Hogan's Hero impersonation would you agree that Bush told a lie? Even though he did not know it was a lie, it started as a lie , was still a lie when Bush told it, correct? Can we then say Bush did not lie , he just told a lie?

Really? Now you are just sounding naive .
http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...-lies-iraq-war
Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, codenamed Curveball by German and American intelligence officials who dealt with his claims, has told the Guardian that he fabricated tales of mobile bioweapons trucks and clandestine factories in an attempt to bring down the Saddam Hussein regime, from which he had fled in 1995.
"Maybe I was right, maybe I was not right," he said. "They gave me this chance. I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime. I and my sons are proud of that and we are proud that we were the reason to give Iraq the margin of democracy."
The admission comes just after the eighth anniversary of Colin Powell's speech to the United Nations in which the then-US secretary of state relied heavily on lies that Janabi had told the German secret service, the BND. It also follows the release of former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld's memoirs, in which he admitted Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction programme.
