California Proposes to Ban Incandescent Lightbulbs

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the coming-to-your-house-to-smash-the-old-ones dept.

zhang1983 writes to tell us CNN is reporting that California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine wants to make his state the first to ban incandescent lightbulbs with the "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act". The act will promote Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) to replace the inefficient incandescent lightbulbs. According to him, "Incandescent lightbulbs were first developed almost 125 years ago, and since that time they have undergone no major modifications, meanwhile, they remain incredibly inefficient, converting only about 5 percent of the energy they receive into light."

    I'm guessing you really don't like it because it doesn't run BeOS.

    Yes, folks, this is the exact same insane bitch that operates the farce that is osnews. "Stubborn as a donkey," and a face to match. Ugly bitch.

    Is the pain threshold in your poop chute logarithmic? I hope not. I forgot the vaseline today, babe. Don't worry about it though. I'll try to be genteel as I press my man meat into your love button. I'll let you lick my cock head to moisten it a little. I don't usually pre-come so you may want to do that to lessen the pain. My heart is all a twitter thinking about that brown eye. I might finger it a little first and see if I can tease it open a little for you.

    Later, sweety.
