by "Washington recently began a debate about whether there should be federal government action taken to change the American palate, so that consumer taste buds can adjust to the mandatory use of less salt. And John Loughlin, a candidate for Congress who recently visited my office with a copy of the Constitution, was not amused.
Loughlin, who is running as a Republican in Rhode Island, looked and looked in our nation's founding document. But he couldn't really find where fiddling with food fell in the scope of the government's business.
Loughlin is running for the seat currently occupied by the retiring Patrick Kennedy. Conveniently, Loughlin's dog-eared Constitution had "compliments of Rep. Patrick Kennedy" stamped on it. Everywhere I go some group seems to be handing a copy out. The Constitution, it seems, is the hottest ticket in town."
