Media Mike Mashes Magazine and Makes Headlines.

And yet again he gets caught out in a lie. The man just can't help himself. He and KRudd are so alike it's scary. Both go for the lie and spin before the truth regardless of whether the truth can hurt them or not.

Whenever you get caught out in a lie your credibility is damaged and there is no recovery from that, the constant drip drip drip of the lie drops falling into the clouded eyes of the voters. Eventually the fog clears and the vision is restored. That's when the the BS folk get their come-uppance.

The real shame of this in the world of politics is that they have voted themselves a permanent pension even if they are doing a paid job elsewhere. That rort must be stopped. The idea of being able to access an early pension is the claim that many politicians have left good jobs to take up the position and may find it difficult to get re-employed afterwards.

I don't have an objection to that, I think the unemployment benefits they give themselves are excessively generous but I agree with the concept. But, just like with the rest of us, if they get a job the unemployment benefits should stop while they are being paid.

Sorry, slightly off track, in the real world if you ge caught out in a significant lie you lose your job and probably your severance pay. Politicians just keep spinning it along.

Coming into an election we are going to get bombarded with and absolute plethora of BS. So much so that I had an idea after reading an article recently which I cannot find to reference for you. The article was about the massive amount of spin we are going to get and suggested that the media, instead of just printing it, should put a big warning sticker on it calling it BS. My idea was that we could all have a bunch of big red stickers to stick on the posters on the streets and shop windows.



And here it is, if you can produce a better one please do and comment with a link, I'll put into this post for sharing with like minded people.

How to use this. If you have access to a serious label printer then you'll know exactly what to do to produce unlimited stickers of any and all sizes.

For the rest of us it's a matter of getting sheets of sticker material from the local supplier, printing them and cutting out the circles by hand. Yes you have my permission to print these out and distribute them. I don't mind if you sell them to cover printing and handling costs but if you want to go into heavy commercial operation you should get in touch with me first.

Pollute the pollies posters with these. Have fun.
