How many Bush administration officials to change a light bulb?
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 07:27 PM by tjwash
None. There’s nothing wrong with that light bulb. There is no need to change anything. We made the right decision and nothing has happened to change our minds. People who criticize this light bulb now, just because it doesn’t work anymore, supported us when we first screwed it in, and when these flip-floppers insist on saying that it is burned out, they are merely giving aid and encouragement to the Forces of Darkness.






Someone emailed this to me and I just had to post it.

2. Thank you for the analogy.
Talk about dark times. These people are tring to take the light away-for sure. Time to sing a song I learned as a child. This little light of mine is going to outshine the world. Everyone keep that song in mind.

6. You're being unpatriotic...
for asking for the lightbulb to be changed.

Congress will force a vote on not giving up on the lightbulb.

8. Republicans would deliver a "No Bid" contract to
Halliburton for several $Billion plus costs for changing the lightbulb. It would take several years. The job would be poorly done with major cost overruns and fraudulent over billing.

They are in a pitch black room with members of the press and everyone keeps asking each other "Did you see that? Is it just me or is getting lighter in here!"

14. They are screwing in the lightbulb because they found WMD
Weapons of Mass Darkness.

Only the sun is actually shining, so there appear to be no Weapons of Mass Darkness and the light bulb is not really necessary. No, wait, we're screwing in the light bulb because of 9/11. Oh, and looky here, Rick Santorum went down into the basement and there he found that things were indeed dark. Or at least they WOULD be dark if you went down into the basement. Which is why we need the light bulb out here in the sun.

22. hey, bulb
As this is an incandescent bulb, it will shine sort of orange-ish, and it will probably cause some of us to wake up; therefore, if we change the bulb, we will automatically go into an orange-alert condition.

26. THE THEORY OF DARK SUCKERS
For years it was believed that light wes emitted from an electric bulb; recent information has proven otherwise - dark is sucked into the bulb - therefore, the bulb is a dark sucker.

There are many types and sizes of dark suckers. The largest manufacturers of dark suckers are General Electric and Sylvania. Some modern dark suckers utilize solid power to operate properly. Solid power units can be purchased from Eveready, Exide, and Duracell.

<snip>

Candles - primitive dark suckers: There is more dark 30 feet from a lit candle then there is at a distance of 3 feet. Proof of it's dark sucking capabilities is relatively simple. Examine a new unused candle, notice that the center core is not dark. Ignite the center core. Allow the center core to burn for about 5 minutes. Notice the lack of dark around the candle. Extinguish the candle flame. Notice that the center core of the candle is now dark. The center core is a dark sucker protected by a soft insulator to extend it's life expectancy and maintain rigidity to verify that this primitive dark sucker is operating properly. Ignite the center core and allow it to burn for a minimum of 2 minutes. Pass a clean pencil over the top of the flame, left to right, approximately 3 inches above the center core. Notice that there is no dark on the pencil. Pass the pencil over the center core now about 1/2 inch. Notice that the pencil now has a dark area. The pencil blocked the path of the dark being sucked to the core of the dark sucker. This type dark sucker is very primitive and does not suck dark any great distance nor does it have a large capacity.


<snip>

Dark is faster than light. If you would open a drawer very slowly, you will notice that the light goes into the drawer. (You can see this happen.) You cannot see the dark leave the drawer. Continue to open the drawer and light will continue to enter the drawer; however, you will not see any dark leave the drawer. Therefore, dark is faster than light. Go into a closet, close the door, and turn off the dark sucker. Have a friend open the door about 1 inch. Your friend will not see any dark leave the closet, nor will you. Have your friend open the door until half the closet is dark and half is light. Since 2 objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and you do not feel any change in pressure, by compressing the dark, it is logical to assume that dark is faster than light.
