As a few people know Claudia used to run the local power company. (Oh I forgot, all my potential new constituents don’t know that that’s a joke – but only sort of.)
We’ve been on the energy saving binge for a decade buying the new fangled lightbulbs since MP&L gave us a little coupon to buy them with on an energy saving kick. So when Claudia heard that the Republicans in Congress saved the Chinese and Indian light bulb manufactures who supply us with the old fashioned energy wasting light bulbs to save us from enviornmentalists run amok she expressed concern for the American manufacturers of the new bulbs who will have to retool to start making the inefficient ones again. She sneared that Congress was always generating more heat than light. Do you get the joke? (Its because you can burn your fingers touching old lightbulbs that turn electricity into wasted heat when what we really want from them is light.)
Which got me thinking, (an admittedly dangerous thing eschewed by good dittohead Republicans these days) that we obviously have the worst schools in the world since all they manage to do is turn out dumb scientists who think Humans are the reason the North Polar ice cap is about to melt. Darn that evil Nancy Pelosi and her little dog Newt too.
