Light Bulb Jokes

How many congressmen does it take? Admiring Lawrence Henry. Hitchens the Christian-named. Plus much much more.
p> LIGHT SPECTRUM br> Re: Sam Kazman's Somewhere, Mr. Edison Gently Weeps : /p> p>How many Congressmen does to take to change a light bulb? br> -- Pat Callum br> Roswell, Georgia /p> p> What do the American voters need to do to bring about a White House and Congress that is bright enough to understand that most American citizens are functional adults? The new energy bill was signed into law; this means the unctuous, unnecessary and unsafe legislation had to be approved by the majority of both houses and signed by the president, which is to say a pox from both our houses. Where were the so called guardians of liberty, The Republicans, when this law was passed? Oh, yes, they were holding hands and singing "Kumbija" with the Loony Left, the Democrats. The energy bill is another demonstration of how far the Nanny State is willing to go to oversee our safety. It is time we see the light and usher out the the overreaching politicians of both parties. It is time for a change; a time to throw out the inefficient dim bulbs. It is time for the power of the people to electrify the current conductors of politics. It is time we the people to transform government from one of static (or rather statist) interference into one that allows maximum freedom of its citizenry. If we do not take action, all we can do is hope for a light at the end of the tunnel. But history suggests that the very light for which we are waiting is, in all actuality, a freight train of debt and over-regulation that is soon to overrun us all. br> -- Ira M.
