I still get a kick out of seeing stories that involve printer ink and the leaders of our country. Not exactly sure why, but I suppose it might be because I feel they have more important things to discuss than printer cartridges.

Three republican senate candidates (Tom Campbell, Chuck DeVore, Carly Fiorina) met in a live radio debate back on March 5. The beginning of the debate focused on Mr. Campbell defending his stance on Israel. Campbell’s opponents are calling him anti-semetic.

It then turned to Mr. Campbell and Mr. DeVore focusing on Ms. Fiorina, accusing her of launching this sentiment against Mr. Campbell.

With all this going on, when did they have time to talk printer ink?

It came when they used the words printer ink and national security in the same sentence. The attack on Ms. Fiorina, a former HP executive, continued with comments about an HP subsidiary violating U.S. sanctions against Iran by selling printers to the country. Ms. Fiorina responded by saying that “Redistribution of printer ink in compliance with U.S. law is not a national security issue.”

Huh? Again, back to beginning comment, don’t these people have better things to talk about than printer ink?

Anyone agree or disagree? Let me know. Thanks!
