Politicians are sometimes depicted as people who never give a straight answer to a question. Their responses and statements can be vague or slippery and where they want to escape they look for loopholes or establish their own loopholes through which they can ease their way out of commitments.

Read More Discrepancy and DeceptionOK dear reader, I need you to follow me on a little journey in this entry. I really enjoy watching episodes of Columbo.
