Rand Paul Proposes Reopening Just Enough of Government to Hold New Hearings on Benghazi
Edited to add: I thought this didn't need a satire disclaimer...my bad! 
THIS IS SATIRE.
By Andy Borowitz, The New Yorker

Adding his voice to the eleventh-hour debate about the government shutdown, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) today proposed reopening just enough of the government to hold new hearings on Benghazi.
"Across this great nation of ours, people are suffering," he told Fox News's Megyn Kelly. "Suffering, Megyn, because they still don't know what really happened in Benghazi."
Noting that the government shutdown had furloughed investigators who could be looking into Benghazi, he said, "If there's something in our government more worthy of funding than that, I can't think of it."
...
"For the two weeks of this shutdown, the American people have had no new information about Benghazi," he said. "It's time to stop the madness."
