This Warms My Heart.
Before we get to the part that warms my heart, this part frosts my stindeens:
Did you know that our federal government you and I employ a person with the title, “Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency?†Well, it’s true, and her name is Dr. Kathleen Hogan. By virtue of her title, I assume that her boss is the “Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency,†and I further assume that that person’s boss is the “Secretary for Energy Efficiency.†I won’t even hazard a guess as to how many drones toil away in the Department of Energy under these three wastes of spaces. Jesus H. Christ!
Anyway, back to the part that warms my heart. Please watch the video of Senator Rand Paul’s grilling of the good Dr. Kathleen Hogan on the subject of government intrusion into consumer choices when it comes to light bulbs, non-functioning eco-toilets and other things. He voiced my thoughts on the matter perfectly. Perhaps yours as well.
Her reaction blabbering bullshit is pure gold.
Kudos, Senator Paul!
It is like he took the words out of my mouth. Notice she did not listen, and did not care. SHE KNOWS BEST.

Rand Paul is a breath of fresh air in the stale U.S. Senate!

The link to the video doesn’t work, Jimbo.

That really was lovely.
Thanks goodness he’s not a total nutjob like his old man.

Rand is looking more & more like something which has been missing in Washington for years ….a Republican with balls, it kinda is refreshing & long overdue.

Thank you. This made my day.
Nothing’s more fun than watching a smug bureaucrats get crushed into a tiny wad like used toilet paper.
Now if only we had a toilet that could flush it away…

I couldn’t agree more. I want a toilet that flushes 1st time every time. We have one at work that requires 3 flushes to get the “ass gasket” down – and that is only for a little pee – just the paper takes all of that. I need 4-5 light bulbs to see and at that they are crappy and I just had one break in my hand when I tried to change it. I am a ’60s child and went to an ecology rally back in the day – I remember thinking – even then that this is bullshit even then. What to do? What to do? I hope Mr. Paul can do something about it (but I doubt it).
