I know with all the headlines screaming about the debt ceiling and Barack getting his hackles up over those discussions last night when he couldn't get everything he wants, this may be an off-the-wall blog, but I read an article in several publications last week and this week regarding the efforts of the world to "go green" and whatever other clever terminology the liberal meatheads wish to throw around to support their absurd ideas of reality.  Makes me think that the reputation of liberals for encouraging the smoking of certain weeds and use of certain entertainment drugs finally totally corrupted the gray matter between the ears.  Even if Bill Clinton "didn't inhale", he apparently got enough of the aroma in his system to allow big Al Gore to start all this inane global warming talk.  After all, Big Al invented the world wide web, remember, so he is obviously  much more intelligent that the average Joe of us who barely can use the computer.

My choice of weapons today is taking on these new light bulbs that look like a cone of ice cream from DQ.  They are advertised to last 7 to 10 years, at least in the area of the country where I reside, and are said to use less energy and produce less harmful whatever the hell the liberals wish to put out today as a deadly reason for use, than the tried and true incadence bulbs.  I would never buy into that but allow me to explain why my wife and I replaced EVERY bulb in our home with these CFL bulbs.  Our grandson, soon to become a teenager, was brainwashed by the liberal teachers he has had thus far in this woefully inadequate education system we have these days into believing all the propaganda about recycling and energy use.  Every time he would come for a visit he would insist that we change over to these bulbs.  Having a great love for my grandson, I finally, a year ago, went and bought two cases of these bulbs.  I went throughout the house and replaced every bulb with a CFL.  Thus, I am qualified to report the following:

1.  These bulbs are doing well if they last 9 months.  I have had to replace EVERY single CFL at least once.  I recently went to a local mainstream hardware store and bought six cases of regular incadence bulbs before they are taken off the market.  CFLs are good only for the trash pile.  BUT WAIT.  You are not supposed to dispose of them in a trash pile as now we are told they contain something harmful and if you break one in your home you need to call HAZMAT to decontaminate your home.

2.  When you turn on a light, it takes from 30 seconds to a full two minutes for the bulb to reach full strength lighting and because the CFL falsely labels the wattage (i.e. your usual incadence 60 watt bulb is much brighter than a 60 watt CFL) you need to go with higher wattage to get the same lighting.   I get tired of waiting for the two minutes it takes for the bulbs in my library to get bright enough to find the book I'm looking for.  Of course I've been tired of waiting for the dimwits in Washington to get bright enough to have a real life perspective on what they are doing to this country.

So, the problem with the debt ceiling may NOT be this incompentent President's reckless spending, but, instead, they can't even see the ceiling because the lights are too dim.
