Default Congress may flip switch on CFLs

On 12/7/2010 5:25 AM LSMFT spake thus:

reduce our energy consumption, the misguided ban on incandescent
light bulbs needs to be repealed..."

Not only that, but some in Congress - and quite a few citizens -
are convinced: "It's emblematic of everything that's wrong in the
relationship between Washington and the voters. There was no
conversation; there was no back-and-forth. The voters woke up one
morning, and they said you can't buy incandescent light bulbs..."

So, what are the chances? We won't know 'til the process gets a bit
farther down the road.

Surprise, surprise: the complainant (Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan) is a
Repugnican. Who woulda guessed?

Now, I was going to further guess that he was a Tea Party type, but it
gets even funnier: the Tea Party has apparently accused Rep. Upton of
being--get this--"pro-Big Government when it comes to Energy policy"
(ooooh, notice them Scary Caps!):

Meaning, I guess, that he merely wants to ban them Communist/Socialist
twirly bulbs, not string up the vendors of same by their toenails.

Sheesh. This is the kind of stuff only Tom Tomorrow seems to be able to
come up with. (www.thismodernworld.com)
