A Pocket Full of Mumbles

For those who sold their souls for the proverbial mess of pottage and voted Liberal at State or Federal levels, thus giving the rest of us the government THEY deserve, the words of Paul Simon (from 'The Boxer' - itself ironic at the federal level) seem highly apt.

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

If the written words seem unclear, listen to the song and you'll hear the meaning.

Methinks we could do with a few bridges over a whole host of troubled waters.
