Tag: Light BulbsBy JGillman, Section News
Though they may have not gone unnoticed by me or any of the otherwise politically aware, we would be remiss if left out of our coverage here at RightMichigan.com.
First there is the new Partial Birth Murder prohibition: Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed the state ban into law Tuesday. Livingston pro-life groups are calling that a victory.Terminated. By golly its just so much easier to say than killed painfully, murdered, slaughtered, etc.. At least there is another level of protection now available for those who have no defender otherwise. Thank you for signing that into Law Governor Snyder. The other item worth mentioning, (though not nearly as important)is the legislation that is expected to be signed by the governor as well that addresses "efficiency standards" for incandescent light bulbs though not directly. It actually allows for the manufacture of incandescent bulbs in Michigan for the sale within Michigan. This allows Michiganders to purchase the bulbs that would be otherwise banned by federal efficiency standards and the use of the 'commerce clause.' We should be reminded that Congressman Fred Upton played a hand in the over regulating of such miniscule things as our personal lighting. Regulation which led us to this point where we must as a state, assert our sovereign authority in some manner to meet the best interests of Michiganders. Happy Saturday folks!

It hit me this morning while I was brushing my teeth. I got swept away with the water running, standing there for maybe ten minutes, enjoying the sound with a nagging feeling that there was something happening today that I was forgetting. Suddenly a light bulb flashed on over my head, joining every other hundred-watt bulb I'd left running in the house all night. (It was bright.)
When your kids head to school, when you turn on the local news, MSNBC or CNN you'll learn pretty quickly that today is a special day. Take a look at your calendar if you don't believe me. It's a big day. A high holy day, almost. The kind of day that certain special interest groups hope will help inspire you to help change the world, one energy efficient light bulb at a time. When you get to the office and you see Jane trying to pull off a precarious balancing act, standing on a chair... in heels, trying to change that burned out bulb, give her a hand. This is HER day. That's right, today, April 22, 2009 is Administrative Professionals Day, formerly known as Secretaries Day. So make sure that special lady (or man) in your life understands just how much you appreciate her. Sign the office card... heck, print her a dozen of them on heavy, non-recycled cardstock. Pitch in a couple bucks for an ice cream cake even if you have to crank the air conditioning to the max to keep it from melting. Tell her THANKS. I don't have an administrative professional myself, but I've worked with some awesome folks in the past so I'm still going to do my part. Every other day of the year we look at the news from a Michigan perspective and that's great and that's important. But today is special. Today we're going to look at the news and the events of the day with the administrative professional first in our minds, even those administrative professionals who may be victims of the Cherry-Granholm economy and the Democrats bungling of Michigan's climate. Michigan's job creation climate. Read on... (8 comments, 960 words in story) Full Story |
