The Politician Light...A Repeat Of A Repeat | Eastern NC Now

The Polight (Part 3)

    The word "Polight" is derived from a combination of the words "Politician" & "Light".

    Almost 8 years ago I posted the first Foolishness...Or Is It? about the Polight. I repeated it during the 2012 Presidential Elections. Today I have revised it again because of the current Presidential Election.

    There ought to be a law requiring a red light be surgically implanted on the top of the head of any candidate running for President. The light would function as follow...

• If the candidate were speaking a lie, the light would turn on.
• If the candidate were making a proposal that was physically impossible to actually be implemented, the light would turn on. For Example: "My fellow Americans, today I am proposing that all B52's that I send to drop nuclear bombs on anyone anywhere have a gear or a gadget or a doohickey installed that will allow the pilot to be able to stop forward flight and reverse direction within 25 feet, just in case I change my mind."

    Because of some politician's propensity to lie unceasingly or make statements on subjects about which they have no knowledge, the Polight would have to be rigged so that it would blink every 20 seconds. If this were not the case and the light stayed on all the time, voters might begin to think the Polight was broken. Then where would we be?

    I can hear you out there saying to yourselves, that this is Foolishness. However, can you picture in your mind's eye how wonderful it would be if only this Foolish device really existed?
