We're all just kids at heart. I remember when I was a kid Ioved the Sunday funnies. When I finished reading them, I would pull out the Silly Putty and transfer the cartoon images to it. Then I would stretch the faces to make them even funnier than they were to start with.
I think we do that today with politicians. They tend to say some outrageous things sometimes. In an effort to understand what they were really trying to say, we start discussing them with people. By the time we think we have it, we have really only managed to stretch what they said into what we are sure they really meant to say considering what they have said and done in the past. I think it's time we start listening to what they actually say instead of what we think they meant to say. Stop using mental Silly Putty.
By the way, I found what I call adult silly putty. It's a version of a stress ball, comes in different colors, and is really fun. It's sold by a company called Crazy Aaron's Putty World.
