How many Congressmen does it take to unscrew incandescent light bulbs? :-)

Edison discovered how to make a practicable AND marketable lightbulb ~ like many others of his time did ~ but he went one step further. He standardized his power production facilities and produced bulbs that met those standards.

And all the mercury-polluting CFL bulbs are made in China, because our environmentalists don’t care about fouling China’s water and killing the workers manufacturing these dangerous bulbs. Environmentalists are hypocrites who really don’t care about that part of the Earth.

Lucky me. I just found two old boxes of Westinghouse 100W bug bulbs, 1970’s vintage I guess. Wonder what they are worth?

If this “republican” house can’t fix the lightbulb ban, how are they going to fix Obamacare .. no hope with this crowd. They should have done this their first week in office.

How many Kennedy’s does it take to screw in a new bulb?

One to hold the bulb, and several others to drink enough to get the room to spin.

They should have started with 1500 watt toasters. They are terribly inefficient light bulbs. /s

Since electric heating is still legal, why don’t they make it legal to sell bulbs if we promise only to use them in cold weather, since the excess heat warms our houses? /s

Screw the polar bears, I want my incandescent light bulbs. The best light for reading or for looking at LCD computer screen

Yet thanks to a federal law that relatively few Americans knew anything about when it was passed by Congress and signed by George W. Bush in 2007, the familiar light bulb is about to be banned.

That figures. Another screw-up by Jr Bush, the liberal Republican.

“President Bachmann will allow you to buy any light bulb you want.

Isn't that precious. Someone in DC will "allow" us a small modicum of freedom of choice. She sounds like Hillary.

We need 100 watt bulbs for use in the barn. Nothing else will do. I bought some at Wal Mart yesterday. They were made by GE in Mexico. Gone up in price too. Guess I’ll have to stockpile.
