You may not know this, but light bulbs are a political issue with Republicans, though in this particular article it is toilets which get the limelight. Reported on March 10, 2011, the LA Times brings to the forefront Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky's battle with an Department of Energy official. "'Frankly, my toilets don't work in my house. And I blame you and people like you who want to tell me what I can install in my house, what I can do. You restrict my choices,' Paul said" (LA Times). That was the issue, I suppose it was more about the issue of choices about what one can install in one's home, but the humor is something that cannot be ignored. I propose an old fashion solution to this new age problem. A duel. Ten paces away from each other with flintlock pistols. If you manage to hit the other person, then that person gets what he or she wants. With that taken care of, you can go back to actually doing your job.
LA Times: Rand Paul and Toilets
Alright, for the sake of this post I will try not to dip to heavily into my deep well of sarcasm. Is this journalism? No. Not in any shape form or manner. I am actually rather embarrassed that someone wrote an article on this. It is about an argument between a Senator and an unnamed official in a massive department. There was nothing of any value in that piece except the humor. I refuse to go on about it.
This weeks core biblical truth is Salvation, "Faith in Jesus Christ is the purpose of life. Faith in Jesus Christ enables man to discern the Truth." Neither purpose or truth were served in this article. Nothing which pertains to anything, but the need to get any kind of press for an political animal's need.to be noticed by the public. If such articles become common place, may God help us all.
