Energy-saving compact fluorescents
(CFs) now rival the cozy, warm light of traditional bulbs. They
use a fraction of the electricity, which means lower electricity bills and
millions of tons less global warming pollution. And in the summer, because they
don't burn as hot as incandescent bulbs, they'll lower your cooling bills.
If every household replaced just three 60-watt incandescent bulbs with CF
bulbs, the pollution savings would be like taking 3.5 million cars off the road!
How the Bush
Administration Changes a Light Bulb
How many members of the
Bush administration does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One to deny that a
light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the
patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out
the light bulb;
4. One to arrange the
invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
5. One to give a billion
dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a
photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under
the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;
7. One administration
insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was
literally in the dark;
8. One to viciously smear
#7;
9. One surrogate to
campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong
light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally one to
confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and
screwing the country.
