Are You Good at Counting Lies?
I received this video in an email from MoveOn.org yesterday. The email read:
Dear MoveOn member,
Do you have a conservative uncle, or someone in your family that you've gone 'round and 'round with over the budget fight that nearly shut down our federal government? Or did you find the whole thing totally impenetrable as the story seemed to change daily? Well, here's a video that breaks it down. It's a quick, funny, and honest explanation of what's actually happening in D.C. Check it out, and then share it with anyone you think could benefit from a little straight talk.
We need to have a real national conversation about how we can address the deficit. This video can help kick that off, but only if you share it.
I've now watched this video a couple of times, in an attempt to figure out how many lies, falsehoods, and misrepresentations are in it. I think I've counted 15.
Grab a pencil and paper and see if you can find as many lies as I did - or if you can find more!

Kevin, am I the only one that thinks "Count the Lies" is an amazing drinking game?

Answer the question correctly, chug a shot, answer the question incorrectly, chug two shots?
Which is worse, the grotesque contempt for the American people that Big Mike and his maggots in arms bring to the debate or the fact that they achieve traction with this bilge?

It's an easy way to get hammered really quickly.

a much better video to clear the palate and address the Keynesian topic. I apologize if you have already seen it, but it is worth watching again and again.
