Yankees, light bulbs, and poison in our society.

Our very own Energy Secretary of The United States, Steven Chu, on banning the incandescent light bulb invented by the greatest American inventor ever, Thomas Alva Edison, in favor of the new toxic "green" spiral compact florescent (CFL) (mercury filled) bulb:

"We are taking away a choice that continues to let people waste their own money."


You see? Yankees know better than you how you should spend the money you EARN.  


Y'all get it now?


Hey Edison: This new "progressive" America says you are an anachronism--its not about 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration anymore.  


Now it's about who you know in the administration to trade favors with in order to kill your legitimate competition.

Whad'ya think about that, Thomas?

Mmm-hmm.  Thought so.


Hey kids, stop playing with that mercury!


Mercury, mercury.  
Poison, poison. 
But other than that, them bulbs are "green." 
Make your face turn green, more like it.


Ya know, I feel richer already, knowin' Steven Chu is out there lookin' out for my wealth.
