Keep Your Eye on the Nose
One thing I always watch in political candidates is body language. Entrepreneur.com has a story about seven subtle cues that often mean a person isn't being completely honest. The
clues are provided in a business context, but they certainly can be
applied to people running for office. Here's my favorite:
"Nose touch: We have erectile tissues in our noses, which engorge with blood when we lie. This causes a tingling or itching sensation that requires a nose touch to satisfy. The absence of a nose touch doesn't guarantee truth, but the presence of a nose touch often means deception. Of course, sometimes a person will touch his or her nose because of a non-deceptive cause, such as a cold. With some practice, you can quickly learn to distinguish a deceptive nose touch from something innocent."
There you go, Democrats in Minnesota, keep your eyes on the noses of the DFL candidates seeking your endorsement to run against U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman (R). Come to think of it, you might want to closely monitor the nose of one particular candidate, the one on Al Franken.
