Another 23 complain that this is not a post about drug legalization.

Don't forget that strobe lights are the Log Cabin Republicans of the artificial light realm.

Oh, and some more DU troll posts:

No blood for lumens!

Bush stole the bulb. Gore got more watts. Bush's greedy bulb grab shows that the bulb was 'selected, not defective!'

I support AUWWW (Artist United to Win without Wattage)

We had a huge bulb surplus that Bush squandered giving undeserved bulbs to the rich!

America deserved to have its bulb break for the shameful way we treat lower-quality bulbs in electricity-deprived countries!

I hate Bush because he doesn't support same-bulb fixtures. If it were up to him, he'd round up all homobulbists and put them in recycling camps!


Sad, really, that I can so easily come up with jokes at their expense. But funny nonetheless.
