Politicians’ convenient forgetfulnes

It’s convenient for a politician to try to wiggle out of a statement which results in severe criticism. First, he will say he was misquoted or he was quoted out of context, and when you produce your notes and recording proving the quote and context were right, he will say he forgot he made the remark, or forgot that a specific question, which elicited his statement, was ever asked. Politicians rely on their forgetfulness. A good reporter lets them have their say, but never lets them get away with it.

Writing fiction

I am not writing fiction, but I'm hardly writing any news story at all on this site. It's supposed to be news on weekend, I know. I disappoint myself, but that's hardly news to anyone, nor does it explain why there is no news on a supposedly news on weekend website. So let me try to explain. I mostly write about political news, mainstream political news at the state level. Maybe I want to write about something else other than mainstream news on this site. That's the best explanation I can think of this time. Maybe there's another reason. I am not yet aware of it though. 

Cheers.
