   The U.S. Capital won’t have to worry about turning the lights off, their never on…natural dimwits.

   As I’ve been stocking up on ammo, I am also buying incandescent lights, at my age 63 I should have enough to make it to the end of the ride…assuming of course Odopey’s civilian volunteers are empowered to search and seize by that time.

    Some experts who study the issue blame the government for the quality problems, saying an intensive federal push to lower the price essentially backfired by encouraging manufacturers to use cheap components.

    So, let me see. The libtards demand that the government subsidize these pieces of garbage and then they get angry because the quality is low?

    Typical. Brain-dead. Liberals.

    I replaced all my LCFs with real incandecent bulbs. They last longer and are inexpensive. But that doesn’t matter to the libtards. They think we should be happy spending 3 to 5 dollars for one bulb that will burn out in half the time of an incandecent and be more of a detriment to the environment due to the mercury.

    I am going to turn on every light inside and outside of my house from 8:30 to 9:30.

And to learn more, I’ll do some research on the internet, maybe drive to the bookstore and buy some books on the subject. I may be prompted afterward to create some big paper banner to hang on my front porch and pass out flyers about town telling people to be as aware as I am that actions have consequences or something.

    Either one is a good choice. I like a good pump shotgun because it operates with light or heavy loads alike. Make certain you get a sufficient supply of ammunition for the shotgun.

    The sidearm is a good idea, but don’t forget a decent rifle, too. Remember, ground is taken and held by riflemen. And, of course, no firearm is worth anything without ammo. A basic load for whatever you acquire with enough magazines and practice ammo.

    You know…I would really love one of those Obama supporters or some environmental Nazi-type to come and knock on my door this weekend. Seeing as how I promised my daughters that I would give up the `ol Cope last Monday, and being as how it has now been six days since I have had any…nic patch or not…I am just fit to be tied and would welcome ANYONE getting in my face about whatever Liberal/Left-Wing nutjob cause or case they have.

    Good luck, Fireman! I quit smoking about 25 years ago and have never looked back. It is not easy to overcome nicotine addiction, but you will be glad you did it. Just tough it out for a couple weeks and you will be free. Take it from someone who was truly ADDICTED!! I had the hand-to-mouth addiction too, so it was especially hard. I did gain 25 pounds when I quit, but still don’t regret it.

    I love this story:

    
    SPOKANE, Wash. – The quest for squeaky-clean dishes has turned some law-abiding people in Spokane into dishwater-detergent smugglers. They are bringing Cascade or Electrasol in from out of state because the eco-friendly varieties required under Washington state law don’t work as well.

    Serves them right.

    Let’s apply some left-wing logic here – if you dim the lights for an hour, there will be more violent crimes committed under the cover of dark, such as murder and rape. Therefore, if you participate in dimming the lights, you are obviously in favor of murder and rape.

    Balcony light is on. Lamp is on in the living room. Lights are on in the bathrooms. Both TVs are on. And, and, I placed a lamp with a 3-way bulb in one of the living room windows and turned it up to the 120 watt setting.

    Oh, yeah. I have on a halogen museum light on over our framed Holy Mother. You know. The one that is painted.

    Off topic but looks like Obama’s dream of a global New Deal has been dealt a near death blow.

    The nation-state is regaining momentum. The EU may not survive the year. There is no way Obama’s recovery plan can succeed with the inflation that is heading our way. Hyper-inflation in a stagnant economy. What is that called again? Gives me malaise just thinking about it.

    Let’s see here. Turn on all the lights, Check. Run Dishwasher on “pot scrubber” cycle, Check. Do laundry and place in dryer, check. Bake brownies in gas oven, Check. Leave TV’s on even though noone is watching, Check.

    Thank you Human Achievement Hour and electricity.

    Odd. Google was reminding everyone to turn out their lights but I did not see their servers go down?

    Hypocrisy? Nothing to see here people!

    Just got home opened up Michelle’s blog and saw this. Had forgot about lights and have just now turned them all on. Hope it doesn’t make the oceans rise and cancel out Obama’s lowering them.

    I watched the movie “Toy Story” with my 5 year old on the big screen TV, after microwaving some popcorn and leaving all the lights on in the house. My 17 year old was a little freaked by that because I am usually telling him to stop leaving the lights on all the time!

    I explained what was going on and he immediately turned on the Xbox on the other large TV upstairs, screaming “Here’s to human achievement, losers!”

    Man, I love that kid

    Forgot to add in my previous post that my bright lights help me read “Liberty and Tyranny” by Mark Levin. If you don’t have this book go get it. It was written previous to Obama but after you read you understand Obama and his methods much better and understand where Obama is headed.

    I hope by my actions tonight that some penguins kick the bucket. Oh, yes. Knock off. Take a dirt nap.

    I hate penguins. I really do.

    They’re the reason for all of the world’s evils.

    The sidearm is a good idea, but don’t forget a decent rifle, too. Remember, ground is taken and held by riflemen

    Every light I have is on. Smile for NASA!

    Yep, need a good rifle. Frankly, if enough people buy weapons and do things like join the NRA those acts will provide an excellent deterrent.

    ElmCreek, you encouraged me yesterday to “stock up.” I think my first addition is going to be a Mossberg 590A1, 8 round capacity, 12 guage, AND….. a bayonet stud for an M9 bayonet.

    Where are you people finding these things? My M4 is in the mail – or not…

    And yes, if you need a National Civilian Security force, what’s wrong with the NRA?

    I’m experimenting with a new set of knee replacements tonight – on animals with all the lights on. If all goes well, by next month a Polar Bear will be playing hockey like he was born on ice.
