Thank you. "Good grief that we have veered so ridiculously off topic." Now we know what you are talking about. We are dense, you see; we move our lips when we read, and we need signposts to what's in front of us. Meaningless interjections do not help.

I wonder what Obama Girl's position on any issue of any substance.

The last I looked, Obama Girl's position was, well, not quite within the bounds of good taste, but I don't think I would move to the next car if I encountered her on an Amtrak train.

(Trying to keep this thread relevant . . .)

We might just see him again as the VP on the McCain ticket.

Mr. Kisor, let the record show that I edited that posting "once or twice" in order to ensure best possible taste.

Of interest, somewhere I learned that there is a possibility "Obama Girl" is the first Republican "Swift Boat" of this campaign.

"Obama Girl" is a Milli Vanilli-like artifice. One woman sings, and a model lip-synchs.

In spite of some of the media rumblings to the contrary, something tells me that Pastor Jeremiah Wright of the TUCC is a greater campaign liability.

Getting back to the light bulb topic, anyone interested in energy conservation should know that people are encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour from 8:00PM to 9:00PM local time tonight. This is to heighten awareness that energy can be saved by turning off lights when they are not needed.

Well, since I'm out of the house taking son to a live theatre performance, that's a "too easy to do" kind of thing.

lights are nothing in the energy world, considering 1 standard incandescent bulb is usually 60-90 watts, a fluorescent bulb is around 10 watts, and the new LED bulbs get an amazing 1 watt. A vacuum, microwave, or heater uses 500-1000 watts, and it goes up from there with other standard household appliances.

Now if you told everyone in Phoenix to turn off their AC for an hour, now were talking energy saving.

I'm wondering how much energy could be saved by businesses being required to decrease there operating hours by 30 minutes per day...just a thought. Would it hurt businesses like 7-11 to be open 23 hours per day rather than 24? What if businesses would open at 9am rather than 8am? How much energy could be saved?
