Elegy for the Incandescent Bulb

From Tom Percell at Townhall.com:

I speak of the incandescent bulb - the light of my life for all of my years. As of Jan. 1, you have been shut off. That was the mission of a 2007 law that raised energy-efficiency and wattage standards far beyond what you are capable of reaching.

But I am not ready to see my old incandescent pal go. You had a fine run, my friend. I leave you with some gallows humor:

How many people does it take to shut off an incandescent light bulb?

Answer: 264 members of the House, 65 senators and one Republican president.
