Spin Master Pillows

"Half empty because of congressional inaction, and half full because of the tireless efforts of the President."

"My leaving Wilkins & Jennings was perfectly amicable. They felt that I should be fired, and I agreed."

"You're suffering from defective media image. What you need is a spin doctor."

'But on the positive side, money can't buy happiness - so who cares?'

"Is there a spin doctor in the house?"

"Rather than monopoly, we like to consider ourselves the only game in town."

'This one is for keeping 'On Message' in the spin wars.'

"Prospectus in not spelt P...R...O...A...G...A...N...D...A."

'It's tough being a media exec. There's always the threat of good news breaking out.'

Listen here, Johnny Spinwell, rampant political spin has made a mockery of objective truth. Why nothing could be more false, Mr. Park. Truth is unassailable. It defies and repels spin. Truth is pure, perfect, elemental. It is not subject to interpretation. It is as plain as falsehood. Truth equals falsehood. You're getting it.

Mr. Spinwell, can you teach me the art of spinning? House of Java.net Cybercafe. Heartfelt candor takes practice. Say, for instance, if I had to come clean with investors that the cafe was bleeding money. You mean that you're taking a long-term view by investing for the future? Or that you care about the customer and not just greed and profit? Tingles.

Holy Ronald Reagan. Do you see who's come into the cafe? Reagan? No, it's Johnny Spinwell. The king of spin! Who? Consultant to politicians, stars, lawyers, corporate execs. No one finds the bright side like Johnny. Pea brain, you stepped on my toe. I got your circulation going to save your heart.

"Excellent, excellent. A fine blend of truths, half-truths, and blatant falsehoods."
