No Shutdown: Congress Rolls Out $1.1T Spending Bill

[KRonn]

The ban on incandescent light bulbs never made much sense to me.  What market failure is being corrected, and with such an inflexible regulation?

Meh, one more way the US will be out of step with the rest of the civilized world.

That's to our favor probably!      I heard on the news that Canada banned door knobs?? Is that true?

Thank Binky that one of the ways that the US is out of step is that it doesn't impose nonsensical and inflexible regulations when there is no market failure to be corrected!  Even better that you acknowledge this.

Meh, I don't think a ban is needed. The people who still use incandescent bulbs will die out in a few years.

Ah.. it seems grumbler thought ALL lightbulbs would be banned. No wonder he's against the ban, then.

I hate the pig tail light bulbs. The sickly yellow light from them sucks.

I have begun transitioning to LED bulbs. But damn, those prices.

Campfire light was good enough for Ol' Cave 32, and it's good enough today!

Bush set in motion plans to move the US Embassy in the Vatican into the same building as the one in Italy (for security and budgetary reasons).  This was going to go into effect shortly.  Republicans decided that this was happening because Obama wanted to slight the Pope and all Catholics.  They added something to the budget that prevented the Italian and Vatican embassies from occupying the same building except under certain circumstances.
