Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Tricky Part About Lying

Poor Mittens.  He has taken so many different positions on the positions that he can't keep them straight.

This is why habitual lying is so tricky.  With the truth, you only need to remember one thing: that which happened or that which you believe.  When you've changed your positions so many times, you can't keep all the various iterations of your "beliefs" straight.

Expect more of these.  It's one reason why the Romney campaign works so hard to keep him away from the press.
