I’ll have my kids make a birthday cake . . . with their Light Bright set. Sure, we can’t eat it, but it’s another bulb burning brightly against the lunacy of AGW.

Take Care (and Happy Birthday), mailloux

In the Church of Global Warming, you committed a sacrilege . . . and you obviously hate polar bears too!

I would have loved to see the howls of outrage from your liberal neighbors. Job well done!

Take Care, mailloux

We live in the country where it’s pretty dark at night. A big, bold searchlight could probably be seen for many, many miles.

My wife is the financial manager in the home . . . she actually likes that sort of stuff (me? I’d rather do the Light-bright cake). I don’t know if she’d approve of going that far (renting it and hauling it out to our property).

But the idea itself is great . . . we could call it, “In Search of Sanity.”

Thanks for reading, commenting, and the reco!

certainly we are not going to leave on all our lights throughout the house all night, but now that I say that I JUST MIGHT!!!! We can certainly leave on all outdoor lighting. I especially like the idea that Mailloux said about some Christmas (Xristos Mas) lights easily grabbed and hung….

It’s heat . . . I live in Wisconsin.

The only way to get our old farm house above 72 is with our wood furnace in the basement. If you get that baby cranking, we can get it up to about 75 (once we even got to 77). We keep our oil furnace at a max of 69 for budget purposes only.

I’d dread the day if only those energy saving fluorescent bulbs were available. They throw off an ungodly light. It gives me a headache. There’ll probably be a black market for regular light bulbs . . . kind of reminds me of an old Seinfeld episode about a black market for high flow shower heads.

I’ve got one myself. I might go with coffee cabinets . . . this is Rhode Island lingo for an ice cream shake made with coffee ice cream, coffee syrup (Eclipse brand is excellent), and milk.

I can serve the cabinets as a dessert after our steak dinner . . . the AGW tin-foil-hatters detest the beef industry. Apparently all those cows produce a lot of gas. Southwest Wisconsin, where I currently live, is beef country. So, I’ll have the added bonus of supporting one of the area cattlemen.

Saturday’s gonna be one heckuva party.

Thanks too for the reco!

I can start churning 5 gallons of ice cream in that hour, and while my kids wait for it, they can make microwave popcorn and play Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii…

I think all 6 computers are due for a defrag, while we recharge all 3 Nintendo DS’s and all the cell phones, Ipods and the video camera. I guess I will watch a DVD while I wait.

Now..what CAN we build with all those power tools in the basement in one hour????

Thank You! And, why not get Mark Levin’s book on audio. Blast her loud for the educational benefit of all your neighbors!

of something that runs much deeper.

I recently saw a video on rightwingvideo.com of a bunch of crazy hippies apologizing to “old-growth trees” while crying like they were at a funeral. It was pretty weird and symptomatic of some deep seated emotional and spiritual problems. I can only imagine that those hippies will be sitting in the dark this Saturday.

I hate all those street lights and the codes keep calling for more and more. We just built a new overpass here, the first “big road” construction in many years. I swear, they put so many lights on that thing that I’m confident you can see it from Mars.

I like it out on the water in what most would call the “pitch black dark.” As long as you don’t have any artificial light to mess up your night vision, you can see perfectly well even on a moonless night down to about 7/10s cloud; the only thing that messes you up is lights on the shore. Below 7/10s, all you can see is lights, but you should be going slow, so that’s about all you need to see. If it gets too dark and thick, I turn on the radar, but using the lighted display of the radar means you’re completely dependent on the radar since it messes up your night vision. Most chartplotters have a very dark colored “night” palette that will save your night vision.

to occur at the same time. From looking at Earth Hour’s website, I gather that you turn off (or better yet, ON) your lights at the designated time in your own time zone. In other words, 7:30 to 8:30 Pacific Daylight Time . . . for me, it’s Central Time.

Cook yourself a juicy steak too . . . the AGW tin-foil-hatters recommend that we don’t consume beef because cow flatulence contributes to global warming.

Thanks for the reco!

On my side of things, as a conservative, there are some tongue-in-cheek elements to my post. But, I’m doing what Earth Hour is recommending. I’m voting, but I’m voting for Global Warming. Why would I do that? Because I’m convinced that AGW does not exist. Earth Hour is convinced it does exist as do the folks gathering together in Copenhagen to draft Kyoto II, as does Obama who is trying to foist a cap and trade scheme on the US.

It’s serious because the folks and orgs that embrace AGW want to make big changes because of it. Earth Hour is one of those orgs.

Actus, perhaps we here in Wisconsin have out-liberaled California. I work for a university and this (the Earth Hour thing) was boldly announced and encouraged by the administration. If you want to pursue real leftist ideology, you should move to Wisconsin!

By the way, you’re right, not many will notice my little act of enviro sacrilege. I live in the country. But, my extremely leftist neighbor across the road likely will. And, my wife had a great idea. We’re turning it into a little family “Light of Christ” party. We’ll do the Rosary and a chaplet to St. Michael. We’ll pray for the welfare of the United States, the end of abortion, the conversion of sinners, etc. . . . you know, the usual stuff.

Did you think I’d forget such a memorable little sneak like yourself? Normally, yeah – but I remember people who think that they’re anonymously sneering at my friends.

Blam.

I have no idea where I got the 7:30 – 8:30 pm time. I looked at the site (it’s even linked in the post), but somehow got the wrong hour stuck in my head. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks too for joining in on the “white-up” mode, as you say.

I imagine there’s a very long line of people more than a little ahead of me! Thanks though for sharing the link to your website.

Never mind

I just read the NY Times article about Dyson. The article was very good indeed. I am so glad that scientists such as Dyson are challenging the danger and science of AGW. My only regret? It’s that Dr. Dyson has an Obama bumper sticker on his car!

Thanks for stopping on by and commenting.

Take Care, mailloux

but thanks for playing….

I’m no electrician . . . and miles distant from being any sort of computer expert, but your idea sounds a great deal more draining (in terms of energy) than a few light bulbs. Nice one.

And, I like too the idea of a collective statement at RedState against the nonsense of AGW. Your idea effectively kills two birds (or “polar bears” if we want to irritate the Earth Hour folks) with one stone (or carbon debit).

Thanks for reading, commenting, and the reco too!

Mars at that time. I mean, it is the Red planet and my observance will be no less silly.

In terms of AGW . . . no, the earth won’t be taking any hurt, because AGW is a fraud.
