My bullshit-metre is a finely honed machine. I can smell it a mile away. The writer Michael Turner first turned me onto this. I had never thought of it before. But once I had I saw it everywhere. Especially in myself.
I don’t know what you look for in a politician but I want a smart person to do the heavy-lifting for me. I’m lazy. And when some sleaze-bag says they’re going to lower taxes and invest in my children’s future my bullshit-o-metre redlines. I get bored, start people-watching and eventually find a martini to smash into my mouth.
Thanks for listening and spreading the word. I couldn’t do it without you. If you’ve found something worthwhile in here I’d love it if you talked me up to your friends. Word-of-mouth is the best form of advertising.
