At least that is what our astute state representative, Doyle Heffley, would have us believe. He said so on one of his call-in phone conversations, in which he pretends to answer constituent questions but is really campaigning for reelection. Through some twisted logic, a proposal by a private company to contract with the Bethlehem Municipal Water Authority to install windmills in Penn Forest Township is all a result of the President’s energy policy.
On the way to the bathroom this morning I stubbed my toe. Goddam Obama, I exclaimed.
I love these supposed phone town halls or whatever they are being called now. They are strictly political in nature. The people who call in are set up to ask certain questions that the candidate wants to be asked. A real town hall is when a candidate is actually in front of the people asking real questions from all, not from just the select few.
ReplyDeleteSo take all of them as a waste of time. Read a book, you will get more out of it. Your ears won't be full of shit either.
