A Difference

Posted by Burgher Jon
/ March 30, 2009 / Leave a comment

The following pairs of items are different things:

  • Apple, Orange
  • Public Servants, Politicians

I don’t need to illustrate the first difference, but the second can be demonstrated by successive tweets I received from DUQ:

  • Public Servents: Lawmakers and Power Companies Debate Rate Caps
  • Politicians: Mayors Gather to DISCUSS Solar Energy

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a politician and not a public servant as mayor of the city. Perhaps it is time to reconsider.

Also, DUQ has good tweets, you might consider them.
