I remember an episode of SpongeBob in which SpongeBob and Patrick ate something particularly pugnacious. The town of Bikini Bottom was nearly destroyed by the residents who were trying to evade them.

While stinking breath can be quite difficult to be around, I find the lies coming out of politicians' mouths to be more repugnant.

Politicians seem to have an inability to answer a question in a binary manner - yes or no. There always has to be spin and the question goes unanswered.

It's even worse when they are caught red-handed in something. It is somehow someone else's fault. Never their own.

It comes from both sides of the aisle, but one seems to have more of a problem with it than the other.

Just my thoughts.
