If Fred Upton can hold a conventional light bulb up his butt for 100 hours without breaking it, I will support him for Energy Committee chairman.

CFLs, on the other hand, can last up to 10 times as long

anybody seen this to be true ?

Can't really say. I installed a bunch of them 5 years ago and haven't had any fail.

No, I simply want to finish my life out in peace without any more damn government meddling in my happiness. Now I’ve got to worry about the Bake Sale Czar and the Brownie Police storming our elementary schools and spending my time watching the backup video on my new car (if I can ever afford one again, that is!).
