Politicians

I've developed a simple, usable and foolproof method for evaluating the veracity of a politician's claims. If I can see him, I can tell if he's lying.

I carefully watch his facial expressions - when people are telling the truth, their expressions flow in a natural way. When they lie, they often stiffen up and stare straight ahead.
I watch where his eyes are going, up to the left, he's lying, up to the right, he's remembering.
I watch his posture for changes or shifts. If someone is telling a lie that they aren't comfortable with, it may be revealed in their posture.

Finally, I watch his lips - if they're moving, he's lying.
