I have never gotten an opportunity to vote directly for the comedy gold that is Representative Michelle Bachman. But to the rest of the country, enjoying the stereotype that Minnesotans elect goofy idiots just for the hell of it, please continue to enjoy.
Titled the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act," the bill seeks to repeal the nationwide phase-out of conventional light bulbs, the kind that have been used for more than a century -- pretty much since the invention of the incandescent light bulb.
Bachmann, a first-term Republican, is challenging the nation's embrace of energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights, saying the government has no business telling consumers what kind of light bulbs they can buy....
"By 2012, incandescent light bulbs will be no more," Bachmann said. "Fluorescent bulbs are more polluting because of their mercury content. We are working on a light bulb bill. If the Democrats can hose up a light bulb, don't trust them with the country."

I don't even need no light bulb sir. I can see in the dark sir, I can lay pipe in the dark sir. I got ten kids.....
I hold a considerable amount of hate in my heart for that woman.
Speaking of Minnesotans electing goofy idiots, what is this "Larry King Live" promo I saw this afternoon at the gym about Jesse Ventura running for president?
I hate to burst your bubble, but she is basically right. She did it in a stupid politician way, but is still pretty much right.
Scraphoops, your totally fact-free assertion has won me other.
Can you ever forgive me for reading and believing the "scientists" who suggested the amount of mercury in an average flourescent bulb is less than an average tooth filling?
I don't know why I didn't wait for you to weigh in before I made my decision.
My bubble is burst, and I'm ready to follow you, and your assertive declarations wherever they lead. Fuck Scientists!
Batman is a scientist - would you say fuck Batman?
