Lies, damned lies and Bush is talking
"Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive"
Soon, what we laughably call our leaders are going to need a database to keep track of their lies.
Still, it's nothing new.
But they forget, I think, that we do have a database, full to overflowing with their lies (nice to see the very wonderful George Lakoff, a personal favourite of mine, in action). It's the Internet – that untameable, unruly beast – a parade of talking heads pointing the finger.
Okay, we all know it's no good. It's not like they're going to turn round and say "Shit, we're busted. From now on we'll do the right thing." Maybe they've lied so much, so often that the truth no longer has any meaning for them. But that shouldn't stop us from believing... well, just believing.
