Looking forward to a dim mercury-vapor-filled future, unless we can shed the likes of the Fred Upton’s, Myth Romney’s, Boehners... and shift to constitutional republicans dedicated to shrinking the federal (currently national) government leviathon.
If we do not... there will be a civil war.

From House GOP Delays Light Bulb Ban Until October
Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the light bulb delay shows Congress is listening to the American people. “We heard the message loud and clear,” said Upton, R-Mich. “Americans don’t want government standards determining how they light their homes.” Upton said he was not opposed to the more efficient – and expensive- curlicue fluorescents that have become increasingly familiar in recent years. But he said government should not penalize those who prefer traditional, incandescent bulbs. “New lighting options are great news for the public, but the lesson is that markets and consumer demand are the best drivers of innovation and new choices,” Upton said.
Rep Upton, why did you champion this thing in the first place?
