Statement of Intent

Welcome to The Lie Factory. Here is where I will be posting my opinions (carefully labeled as such) and facts (should also be obvious) about politics, local, state, national and (rarely, since I am an American) international.

Quite the cynical name, isn't it? Well, since I have such low hopes for politicians of all stripes, I think it fits. The politicians and pundits seem to be quite the truth-benders, don't they? Like they were managers and workers in an industry built on lies. Yes, even the "good" ones - those being the ones whose motives seem to agree with me.

As someone once wrote, "Everyone lies, Michael. The innocent lie because they don't want to be blamed for something they didn't do and the guilty lie because they don't have any other choice."

My objective? To toss a wooden shoe into the machinery. To open the windows, roll back the doors, clean up the skylights. To turn on the lights. Yell "coffee break!" in the middle of busy season. Hijack the delivery trucks. Seduce the receptionist. Fire the sales people.

Bring a little truth to the place.
