Bits and Pieces

There was no edition of the newsletter this week, it's my daughter's 4-th birthday and Easter weekend.

In the meantime, I rounded up some interesting Easter Egg stories for you:

The Detroit News has an editorial today titled: Are they !#$!ing idiots?

This alone should make you weep...
Facing a budget deficit that has passed the $1 billion mark, [Michigan] House Democrats Thursday offered a spending plan that would buy a MP3 player or iPod for every school child in Michigan.
What's in your Easter basket?

And The American Thinker lives up to its name. You know those compact flourescent bulbs everyone is encouraging you to buy to "save" energy? Did you know that not a single one of them is made in the US?

Also,
CFLs contain mercury. You didn't know that? Just a drop you say? How about up to 5 milligrams per lightbulb. If all 4 billion incandescent sockets were filled with CFLs we'd have 20 billion milligrams of mercury spread around every single US household. By the way, 20 billion milligrams is nearly 50,000 pounds.

That 50,000 pounds of mercury amongst 300 million people, if indiscriminately thrown away, will eventually find its way to your favorite landfill and public drinking water supply. Knock over a table lamp and shatter a CFL in your house, and you have a toxic waste situation on your hands right in the living room, bedroom or dining room.
See the entire article: Ban the Bulb?

Have a happy Easter.
