Prevaricator ... Breaking

Today's word is "prevaricator" ... (Pri-VAR-I-key-ter) a person who speaks falsely; liar.

Breaking
Those other guys. You know. The politicians,
criminals, religious types. They're the ones
who bend the truth 'til it meets itself coming
and going. How can they? Don't they have 
any scruples? And it's so obvious. Anyone 
can see they're prevaricating. Yet, they
think we can't see what's right in front
of our eyes. 

What log? I don't know what you're 
talking about. I only stretch the truth
a little. My violations are miniscule
compared to theirs. Compared to most
anyone really. Sometimes the things
I say are accidentally misinterpreted.
I only mean the best ... I only speak
when I think someone else really 
needs to hear it ... I really mean
no harm ... I only say what
needs to be said. I didn't
think I'd hurt anyone.
I certainly didn't
intend anything bad ...
I didn't think ...
