On the farside, I ask myself why we pay pollies to spew out
newspeak (cf. 1984) like the crap quoted below. I mean really !

Mathematically speaking, Rick's Polispeak Theorem:

       Sigma (political speech content) = 0

Wish I was paid as much for saying nothing.

If I even attempted such babble in a board room, a systems meeting
or even at home, I'd get my block knocked off ;^) ... and nobody
would listen to me again.

(yes, Minister!)
