   I wonder how much extra electricity is used with the new bulbs that take about two minutes to come up to full brightness when you turn them on? I have three in my bedroom fixture and I have to stand in the dark and wait whenever I need to get something out of the room in the evening. If I go back to 3 60 watt bulbs I would be in and out of the room in a matter of seconds

    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.

    Maybe I should rent one of those beacons the car dealers use.

    Thank The Solstice we’ve got an unlimited supply of candle wax and mercury. I may whip up a batch of popcorn (extra butter) in the microwave, turn on the 5.1 surround sound, and watch An Inconvenient Truth: A Global Warning tonight. 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.

    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 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.

    (Hey. You gotta blame someone.)

    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.

    Aloha,

    I was speaking in future tense. Need to order it. I noticed any M4 ariant is in high demand. Hope yours arrives soon.

    I think any attempt to fund a National Security Force like Obama articulated will be instantly DOA even in this Congress. The whole concept is so ridiculous its only real benefit is showing how monumentally stupid Obama is about how Americans think.

    Most “rational” people would think the same thing about a blatantly unconstitutional law coming before the supreme court. Yet they continue to let many of them stand and turn to International Law rather than to our constitution to decide the constitutionality of it. I would think the same thing about allowing enemy combatants move in to America, much less bringing them here, dumping them off, giving them homes and putting them on the welfare roles but guess who’s coming to dinner … on our nickel no less?

    The problem is, too many people either do not or can not think! Those are the ones that are seriously detrimental to those of us that do!

    The time to celebrate human achievement just hit in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Every light in the house is on, both TVs are blaring, and Mrs. Boomer is starting a load in the washer and dryer. Now it’s time to put some popcorn in the microwave and watch a movie. Fight the Power! Fight the Eco-fascist!

    Flyoverman glad to hear you are arming! We are the resistance, the resistance is here, and the resistance is now!

    Good, because I would’ve had to reset all the clocks in the house, and that’s just so inconvenient.

     A beyond fluff article on Yahoo proudly announced “a billion people took part” in Earth Hour. Since the event is not even over yet, one can only imagine where the writer came up with a billion people.

     Any ideas on the source from where that number came?

     Confession: Deliberate provacative question designed to elicit snarky comments from my fellow posters. Enjoy!
