(2) Other balderdash included Nick Clegg's phoney claim : "As a proportion of this country's wealth, this government will be spending more in public spending at the end of this parliament after all these cuts, than Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were when they came into power."
(3) The balderdash quotient is high at all party conferences, but at a time like this people will wince more than ever at high-minded phrases from government ministers that disguise a very different reality.
(4) That kind of balderdash brings politics into disrepute.

Example Sentences:
(1) It also can do user defined searches using Boolean logic.
(2) Understanding patterns that are associated with survival or death may require alternative mathematic approaches, such as group and set theory manipulated by principles of Boolean algebra.
(3) Its refinement is possible through an heuristic approach, and undiagnosed cases are stored for subsequent Boolean retrieval, thus permitting the recognition of new dysmorphic disorders.
(4) But it seems many parents will be surprised when their children come home from school talking about algorithms, debugging and Boolean logic.
(5) The medical logic is expressed in modular form as a series of inferences to be confirmed or rejected on the basis of Boolean combinations of clinical findings and previous inferences.
(6) Upper and lower bounds on the number of nodes needed for Boolean completeness are demonstrated.
(7) A concise description of the criteria using formal Boolean logic is given in the Appendix.
(8) The logic elements are the 'AND', 'OR' and 'NOT' Boolean functions.
(9) The Boolean operations used were the logical AND, OR, and Exclusive OR (XOR).

(11) The mathematic treatment using the Boolean model enabled one to obtain a prognostic model which may form the basis for the expert system to objectively evaluate, specify and accelerate the process of individual forecasting in the endogenous affective syndromes in childhood.
(12) Many systems analysts will be surprised to encounter a program which is billed as a fault-tree development program "perform[ing] logical mathematical operations," but which does not perform Boolean reduction.

(19) It comprises two complementary approaches: a logical analysis in terms of discrete (boolean) variables and functions and a more classical analysis in terms of differential equations.
(20) Search software characteristics that affect ease of searching and quality of results also need to be examined, e.g., the ability to truncate search terms and the order of precedence in which Boolean operators are evaluated.
