Glenn Beckkk declares war on fluorescent light bulbs

Also, recyclable spoons.

To prove his case against global warming, which Beck labels a “load of socialist, communist crap,” the right-wing talk-show host announced his war against energy-efficient light bulbs.

On air, he asked a staffer to write a memo that threatened to fire anyone caught using one. The YouTube video of the moment was picked up by Grist.

"I'm dead serious," Beck said on his radio program, as his employees titter nervously. "I fire the person that starts to purchase fluorescent light bulbs, unless that is the only light bulb for a very specific reason, and I want to be cc'd on what that reason is." How about to light a dark room? Is that reason enough?

But Beck’s vendetta against eco-friendly office supplies doesn’t end there. He told one worker not to purchase any more recyclable spoons, either.

He really is a dim bulb, isn't he?

2. I've stopped using CFLs in my house...

Slowly moving back to incandescent bulbs. Of course, this choice has nothing to do with global warming. I have a recording studio in my garage. ANY time someone in the house clicks on a light that has a CFL bulb, I get a nice little pop across random tracks that are recording. Sucks, as I liked the light they gave off, and the lack of heat, but I can't have tons of sessions ruined because of a light bulb.

3. Thats certainly a legitimate reason not to uae them. nt

12. Yeah, it was driving me and my bassist nuts...

At first we only heard it on bass tracks, but then we started hearing it across the board. Took us about 2 weeks of scrapping otherwise good performances to realize that's what it was... Now I just have to keep vigilant on my family to not touch the light switches that still have CFLs in them while we're recording... ::sigh::

6. Many Autistic people can see the 60Hz flicker in fluorescents

but I certainly hope that isn't why Beckkk objects to them. We don't want him!

4. So how does he feels about LED?

and, wait a minute...

his very eco-friendly WHITE BOARD ! All those diagrams to show us who is Hitler, all done with a re-usable white board when trees could be cut down and perhaps a writing instrument with lead could be used!

Not using an easel pad?? Sounds like someone might be worried about Global Warming...

5. I'm guessing the hypocrite has a catalytic converter on his car too.

All that platinum and/or palladium could be used to construct an ornate cat o' nine tails to beat child laborers with. Instead it's being used to REMOVE pollutants from his exhaust. I wonder how ol' Glenn can live with himself knowing he's helping to perpetuate such an insidious socialist conspiracy.

7. Did he (R) win his war on Xmas?

Oh, wait, I forgot. That's another Chickenhawk Republican idiot. These Republicon dipsies were afraid to serve the USA in any meaningful way, and so they make up these idiotic FAUX "wars" so they can pretend they have a speck of courage.

The vast cadre of Republicon chickenhawks has no honor, and thus merits no respect.

8. Dim? He's in a phase 3 blackout.

9. He cries every night at sunset because the sun is gone

Each morning before dawn he sacrifices a goldfish on an altar so the sun will come back.

Science is scary to the Derp

10. Yet another 'conserve'ative who loves waste and spending.

A true conservative would conserve energy, conserve materials, and save money by using a more efficient bulb. Instead, Beck is a wasteful spendthrift for no other reason than to do the opposite of what 'liberals' want him to do.

I guess he's going to have to build a light-bulb factory in Glenbeckistan in addition to the gun factory.

11. How many nutjob teabaggers does it take to change a light bulb?

13. The lights are on but nobody's home.
