Stockpile those 100W incandescent lightbulbs.
Which leads us back to Home Depot. After checking prices on Amazon.com, eBay and a wide variety of online lighting specialty firms, the lowest prices I found were at Home Depot. They charge $3.97 for an eight-pack of 100-watt incandescent bulbs, with each bulb enjoying a double-life of 1,500 hours.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Sweet. Out tax dollars at work subsidizing clean energy. No objections from Boulderites I suspect. What I’d like to know is at what level, if any, would Boulderites object to government subsidies for “clean” energy?
The project is also a marvel in another, less obvious way: Taxpayers and ratepayers are providing subsidies worth almost as much as the entire $1.6 billion cost of the project. Similar subsidy packages have been given to 15 other solar- and wind-power electric plants since 2009.
The government support — which includes loan guarantees, cash grants and contracts that require electric customers to pay higher rates — largely eliminated the risk to the private investors and almost guaranteed them large profits for years to come. The beneficiaries include financial firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, conglomerates like General Electric, utilities like Exelon and NRG — even Google.

Sounds like something that would happen in Boulder.
Take a look at his Michigan mansion.
Tea Partiers, of course, see the gross liberal/conservative double standard at work big time. Where Tea Partiers got legal permits and paid tens of thousands of dollars for such things as police presence, traffic coordination, and sanitary necessities like porta-potties, these leftist tantrum-throwers form health-hazard Obamavilles on public property – fee free. The Obamaville squatters disrupt the sleep and threaten the health of close-by residents with their all-hours, out-of-control misdeeds, all the while getting positive press from the aging-hippie chorus in the media.
It’s downhill from here.
We’re talking Ohio, public sector unions and a state constitutional amendment to prevent participatory health insurance.
A wild scuffle at Zuccotti Park early Thursday morning ended with an Occupy Wall Street protester under arrest for assault and an FDNY EMT in the hospital.
Somehow, the Obama administration managed to turn Christmas trees into a topic that will provide the GOP with endless mirth and mocking hilarity.
It’s worth the read.
NLRB.
BUDGET CUT.
WHAT A SURPRISE: Holder Plays Dumb, Dems Push Gun Control
Who needs a DOJ like this? BUDGET CUT.
See the debt clock on right hand column of this blog.
Just say NO.
BUDGET CUT for the FCC.
Two words: BUDGET CUT.
E-Coli food poisoning in Germany leads to 50 deaths and 4000 sick.
The epidemic was caused by eating raw bean sprouts grown at an organic farm where the products had probably been contaminated from seeds imported from Egypt as long as two years before. One of the curious things about the epidemic was that more women suffered from it than men, presumably because women are (at least in Germany) more anxious to eat healthily than men.
SEXUAL ASSAULT. Ann Althouse asks this reasonable question.
SO IF IT’S A SCANDAL WHEN PENN STATE OR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH cover up sex abuse, then why isn’t it just as big a scandal when the Occupy groups urge people not to report sexual assaults on-site so that they can “deal with them internally?”
“She and her employees are terrified by the constant threats, which she said began after she demanded the protesters stop using her shop’s restroom as a place to bathe every day. The final straw came about two weeks ago, when the demonstrators broke a bathroom sink, flooding the shop, and clogged the toilet — setting her back $3,000 in damages.”
What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.
More here including the message Michael Bloomburg and other Progressive Mayors are sending to businesses…
Our progressive mayors may think themselves reasonable when they turn a blind eye to the public disorders that have characterized the Occupy movement. In fact, they are sending a signal that imperils the urban development they so profess to love. For the message they are sending to business is this: When the crazies come for you, you’re on your own.”

Hmmm, sounds like something that would happen in Boulder if the Occupy movement had more energy here.
Which brings us back to this recent post, “I just racked it and they ran“. I feel more comfortable knowing that our local paper supports gun rights.
