Rick Noack. Washington Post.
Kidnapped by a band of roving Mugwumps at the tender age of 8,
Noack managed to escape their sinister organization by disguising himself
as a weather vane and applying for asylum at John Hopkins University.
He likes to read the works of Lafcadio Hearn while sitting in the shade of
the Upas tree in his front yard.
He has never taken up knitting as a hobby.
He is the author of the bestselling biography of Mel Brooks, "Bagels in the Belfry."
On Tuesday, President Trump went on a tear over lightbulbs that make “you look orange . . . "
For Europeans . . . his comments sounded like business as usual. Among Europe’s far-right populists, the fight against a de facto European Union ban on old lightbulbs has lasted years. When the E.U. phased out energy-inefficient incandescent lightbulbs in 2009, it faced a wave of resistance across the continent. As calls to pursue more decisive climate action have mounted in recent months, the lightbulb is once again being held up as a symbol of environmental overreach on both sides of the Atlantic . . .

The light bulbs you buy at the store
really don't work anymore.
Their glow is so pale,
to read you need braille --
it's all the fault of that Al Gore!
