The tragedy of pseudo-sincerity . . . part deux

Spot has written before about the tragedy of pseudo-sincerity.

Spotty learned a long time ago that a friendly pat on the head does not necessarily mean he is going to be fed or exercised. He has learned to look for that move for the kibble bag or the leash.

Senator Michel gives the occasional pat on the head to his constituents, but he hasn't made much of a move for the kibble bag on the budget which means that education, transportation, and health care are going to remain in the same fixes they are now.

Spot has concluded that pseudo-sincerity is worse than silence, because it is motivated by an intent to deceive.
