One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.

So starts a really great piece on the modern tendency to "spin" everything. I really like the conclusion that Eugene Oregon draws in his blog entry of the same title

I think that accurately sums the Bush administration and much of the Republican party - the truth or falsity of their views are completely subservient to their desire to promote their agenda and "get away" with all the bullshit that they spew.

So true.
