Great Turn-Offs Of Our Time (16)

'Cautious optimism' is a popular oxymoron
employed by government officials
when they have to avoid the truth
because it would be too depressing.

Governments will makes statements
that depress their electorates
but only when they need to depress
the right people to the right degree
so that worthy few can feel cheerful.

It would another great turn off in itself
to further describe this calculation as 'spin'
I didn't do that, but you will be spun
when your government demands it.
