Rules for Bullshit Bingo…at least it will keep you awake!
1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card by drawing a square I find that 5" x 5" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block: · Restored our reputation· Strategic fit · Let me be clear · Make no mistake · Back from the brink · Signs of recovery · Out of the loop · Benchmark · Job creation · Fiscal restraint · Win-win · Affordable health care · Previous Administration · Greed on Wall Street · At the end of the day · Empower (or empowerment) · Touch base · Mindset · Corporate greed · Ballpark · Game plan · Leverage · Inherited as in "I inherited this mess" · Relief for working families
3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
