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

The light bulb flashed
and burned out. Bush
wouldn't change it,
making me mad.
I couldn't find the bathroom at
night, so
I voted Libertarian.

4 evolutionists who point out that the current came came before the bulb. Don't forget about VARS. We can't have a dearth of VARS making all the lightbulbs go out, now can we?

Two hundred to tell you that the light bulb didn't just burn out. It was deliberately sabotaged by men in black helicopters.
Three hundred to tell you to wrap the bulb in tin foil and to wear tin foil whilst changing it.
One to write an opus about how he's changed Jim Robinson's light bulbs for 5 years, never been paid and is sick, sick sick of it!! Goodbye!!

How many people from Cambridge MA (The Peoples Republic of Cambridge) does it take to change a light bulb?
Three:
One, a person to write a grant application to pay for it.
Two, a person to invent an organic bulb substitute.
Three, a person to go to court to sue for the right to live in the dark.
Attribution: David Buskin and Robin Batteau, ca. 1989
Four: one environmentalist wacko to seek an injunction against changing the lightbulb because it causes global warming.
To: BureaucratusMaximus
You got it!

It wasn't that hard to write. Just imagine sitting there in the soft glow of the monitor as it reflects off your desktop shrine of framed and glassed Ann Coulter magazine photos, while being comforted by the screams from the pit in the basement, all conveniently located next to your computer station.
