Well, it's still in effect. Only not really.
A last-minute rider attached to the omnibus government spending bill defanged the 2007 energy standards for light bulbs that would have rendered the good ol’ incandescent all but obsolete, starting Jan. 1, by stripping funding for enforcing the ban.Yeah, great. Except the law was passed something like five years ago, which means manufacturers are all geared up for the fluorescents and - considering that the law is still on the books but has only been "defunded," sure as hell aren't going to change now, two frickin' weeks before the ban goes into effect.
WTF, congress? If you're gonna do the right thing, (HAH!) then do it. If you're gonna continue to be the stupid parasitic asswipes you are, then do that. But you can't say, "vote for me, I'm a stupid parasitic asswipe but not as well funded." Because that's even stupider.
Well, I suppose you can say it. But it's still really stupid.
Just saying.

I am reminded of a statement made by a fellow Named Bear concerning the facilities of Government.
"There is no good idea so perfect, so pure, that Government can't do it badly."

These Idjits in Mordor-on-the-Potomac would be funny if the toys they play with weren't so damned dangerous to us all.
mumble .... grumble
