Political Translations
« on: August 12, 2011, 03:40:07 PM »
"It's time for an adult conversation." = "No one likes my ideas and I'm frustrated."

"I'd like a national conversation on that." = That means "I'm a talker, not a doer. I'd like an opportunity to preach."

"I'm a problem solver." = That means "I've screwed many things up in my lifetime and I've become a master at coverups."

"I'm for compromise on that." = That means "I haven't a friggin' clue."

"It deserves further study." = That means "I'm tired and Happy Hour is about to start."

We will appoint a comitte to study = My buddy Fred wants a job

A cost effective project = We've already blown the budget out 200% and this sucker isn't even off the drawing board.

Hope and Change ! = I really hope you've got some spare change because we're fresh out !
