All set for the new poisonous lightbulbs

American_gothic_parodyYep, we’re ready to follow the new Green dictate on light bulbs. No more, uh, harmful bright incandescents. No, sirree, not for us. We’re not environmental baddies who want to harm the climate.

Give us those new mercury-filled, shadowy, compact fluorescent light bulbs any time. We’ll be sure to follow the government’s guidelines and shoo the children and pets out of the room should one ever break, spilling poisonous mercury on the furniture and the carpet.

Hey, we know it’s for the best. It’s for our own good here at the rancho. Our overpaid, undereducated career politicians in Congress and their toadies in the legacy media told us so. We’re in the very best of hands.
