I’m thinking about building a trebuchet and laying siege to Fred Upton’s district. Whos’ wid me?

"I am!"

"We can fling cases of CFLs at them!"

LOL. According to the standards of home disposal of just one broken cfl, such an assault would create a bio-hazard wasteland:

"If a compact fluorescent lamp breaks in your home, open nearby windows immediately to disperse any mercury vapor that may escape, carefully sweep up the glass fragments, and wipe the area with a disposable paper towel to remove any remaining fragments.

Do not try to pick up glass fragments with your hands, and do not use a vacuum. Place all glass fragments in a sealed plastic bag and dispose of them with your other household trash. "

Instructions from a CFL- and green-friendly source

Of course, the EPA has said very little about the mercury disposal issues.

I had to look up Fred Upton

I suggest that we send all of our CFL bulbs to the Dems in Congress when they burn out. Let them deal with them.
