I've got a hanging light fixture in which I can't get CFL bulbs
to
work. They work fine screwed upside down in my garage light
sockets,
the bulb is confirmed working in other lamps.

Standard bulbs work fine in this same hanging fixture. Any
theories as
to why the CFL bulbs don't want to work in it?

Aren't these trash CFL's wonderful?
Our government certainly has our best interest at heart and knows
how to
choose our light bulbs better than we do.

There are excellent CFLs and there are poor ones. Blaming the government
for bad CFLs is silly. The local dollar stores here sell crappy regular
incadescent bulbs with weak
filaments which burn out very quickly. Consumers need to compare and
recognize quality with CFLs just the same as any other product.
