I get the joke, but somehow I'm not laughing.

I think the better question is "how many politicians does it take to take away your liberties?"

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that question.

I was thinking
"How many politicians does it take to screw...you"

Man, it's a ghost town around here today.

They'll get my incandescent bulbs when they pry my cold, dead fingers off the switch.

Episiarch -
it's not a ghosttown if you're over on the RP thread.
SURPRISE!

Episiarch|1.11.08 @ 9:56AM|#

Yeah, well, I'm staying away from that clusterfuck.

Episiarch,

I agree completely. Everyone should stay off of those. We've all stroked joe and MNG's... err... egos... far enough on this topic. I'm sick of watching their shuttering ejaculations of confirmation bias all over my screen.

I'm sick of all of it. There's way too much of a holier-than-thou purity jerkoff fest going on.

OH NOES RON ISNT PURFECT

Time to abase ourselves before the libertarian gods.

shuttering ejaculations of confirmation bias

*golf clap*

Reinmoose- I was on my way to do the "they're more interested in screwing you" bit, but you preceded me. Well done.

Oops! wrong button-

Oh, fuck it.

Woulda been better if you'd spelled it "shuddering."

|1.11.08 @ 12:52PM|#

Yeah, OK. Stupid computer can't read my mind, yet. [grumble]

|1.11.08 @ 1:09PM|#

I agree with Mike P.
Oh, and Reinmoose too. While "funny" I am not laughing. And this from someone who has already converted the most used bulbs in the house to CFL.

IIRC, it's not so much the incandescent part which defines the ban, but a certain level of inefficient lighting sources...which just happens to inclkude the basic incandescent bulb. Make a more efficient incandescent and maybe it will stick around....people have been working on this.

I don't see why everyone's so worked up about the banning of incandescent bulbs.

Recall what you learned in high school history... The incandescent light bulb did not get wide use and come down to an affordable price until Congress banned kerosene lamps in the 1891 Energy Bill. Were it not for that wise action, we would have used up all the oil in the world long ago!

How many politicians does it take to screw in a light bulb? Depends how many can fit in the light bulb.
