One small step but I’ll welcome it.
Wife walked through to the kitchen and asked what I was so happy about as I seemed to be cheering the puter. So I showed her the story and her reaction was,
“Yes. God Bless America.”
Dear U.S. Congress:
Now.......We’ve sorted the light bulb debacle,
Please ban the “low-water-use” toilets (6-litres per flush) and bring back the old fashion 5-gallons a flush crapper.
I’m tired of taking a dump the morning after a nice, big Italian dinner and having to push the flush-lever 8-times to make the 4-lbs of digested spaghetti, of meatballs, 1/2 lb of anchovies plus a gallon of Tomato sauce combined with a couple of quarts of Chianti followed by 7- cannoli disappear down the gurgling hole.
GE moved its production of incandescent bulbs to Mexico around September of 2010. GE also favors the Democratic Party and owns NBC/MSNBC.
Osram Sylvania still has two or three production facilities that produce incandescent bulbs (or glass products used for incandescent bulb production) in the USA.
This makes me glad I chose Sylvania headlights for my recent upgrade on the car.
Now if we could just do something about the corn being used for ethanol....
NJY - also those pos can’t flush more than one square of tp at a time.
Hey, look what else the crapweasels in DC did - just in time for Christmas (vacation) - forced the (p)Resident to put up or shut up. Obama to himself: dilemma, dilemma - do I approve the stupid ‘tax cut’ that I want, but also approve the forward progress of the pipeline that I want to do as an October 2012 surprise so that I can get re-elected - but I have to consider signing it even though I ‘vowed’ (vowed I say, just a mere 10 days ago) to veto it, or Congress, oops the crapweasels in DC and I will have to stay here until something gets passed (I really don’t want to be the ‘cause’ of a gov shutdown and my numbers are crappy enough - Allah knows Congress’ are too - but it’s an election year, I have to do something to keep the stupid masses in my corner) and I want to go to Hawaii to play golf - damn that Harry Reid - he was supposed to stop this mess, damn Congress - they ruin all my plans.
I’d give Boehner credit for this - but at this point I don’t think he is that clever nor that fiscally responsible - 1 Trillion in spending. I know, I know the answer - tax Congress at a 100% rate (oh damn, that won’t work, it’s all TAXPAYER DOLLARS) - man have they rigged the system.
Save the lightbulb - well we are stocked for the next 5 years - that works for me - cuz’ in a few we won’t be able to even afford those little luxuries.
Look on the bright (150 whatt) side wardmama4,
Way back when, in Northern New Jersey,a pair of old maids were stuck in the house during a fierce hurricane. The wind was blowing at 150 mph, the rain was falling sideways and, of course, the electricity was OUT for a couple of days.
Finally, there was a knock at the door. One of the old ladies open it and there stood two young, strapping, muscular, 6 ft. 4 in men in “Public Service, Gas & Electric Co.” coveralls. They were there to tell the ladies their power would soon be on and their service restored.
Suddenly, the old lady at the door broke out in a big smile and shouted: “Hey, Mabel, you can get rid of those candles now, we have two young men at the door to service us!”
Oh. Wow. Now can SOMEbody rid us of the base problem?!?! GOD’S TEETH!!!!!!!!!!
