We put LED lights on the eight Christmas trees at our Parish Nativity scene. You can barely see them.

Really? I was thinking of switching from my years-old collection of heavy-duty merrylights. I guess I'll spend the money stockpiling (more) real light bulbs while I can.

Look for major hoarding of the old bulbs to take place.

Are we really sure this ban wasn't sponsored by the bulb manufacturers to drive up sales? I'm a hoarder, he's a hoarder, she's a hoarder, wouldn't you like to be a hoarder too?

Bought about 30 bulbs yesterday and today. Giant Food has a sale on 4-packs at $1.12. Will probably go back several times this week.

What the F gives these A-holes the right to tell me what kind of light bulb I have to buy?

That would be the New Deal Commerce Clause. The same bastardized clause that allows federal control over education, health care and the environment. It is the clause most loved by Drug War Whores everywhere, the original Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment be damned.

We tend to forget that Republicans are politicians. Members of the political class are the sworn enemies of our lives, liberty and property. Politicians live to lie and inflict harm. They cannot help it it is their nature.

Bush set a modern presidential record with only 12 vetoes in 8 years, and set a 200-year record for the longest stretch with no vetoes. Source

W's rejection of the Founder's vision of the Executive's role in checks and balances is another constitutional stain on his administration.

(P.S. He apparently had no qualms about signing this one)

An infrared scope will show the heat radiating from your lamps and the Feds will send in swat.
Then after killing your dog and forcing 3-year olds to lay on the ground at gun point
someone will go to PC reeducation camp in the Alaskan tundra.

Could that happen? I have relatives in Texas...they can be my incandescent connection.
