Bullshit Mixer Commonly used in the 'old days' to keep idle hands busy. When the farm hands or cowboys finished up a little early or had some time on their hands for whatever reason, these would be handed out to keep them busy. They were inherently facinated by these things and would be kept busy for hours if need be.
		Current usage: Currently extremely popular with right wing politicians, pundits and fat fart generators on AM radio with little grasp of useful policy, facts, figures or common sense and decency. These are used to mix a little bit of truth with mountains of bullshit to unload on the good but confused populace in place of good policy and honest work.
