What's Mallard raving about today?
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs.
Exactly! Who can be bothered to wait 15 seconds? Has anyone ever asked for so much sacrifice? Never, it's the worst thing in the history of the world.
Let's go back to gas lamps!
By the way, what happened to complaining that CFLs were going to kill us all?

That damned fluorescence
What's Mallard raving about today?
Florescent bulbs.
If I did not do this blog, I would not know that Compact Fluorescent Bulbs were a threat to humanity.

Those damned bulbs
What's Mallard raving about today?
Compact Fluorescent Bulbs, EPA.
So many thoughts, so little energy...
I recently obtained a CFL, which states (whether you believe this or not) that the bulb will last for 14 years. So how large a problem does Mallard believe this is?
Big fluorescent lights have been in use for decades in businesses, schools, public buildings, etc. So how large a problem does Mallard believe this is?
How often does a normal person shatter a light bulb? So how large a problem does Mallard believe this is?
Oh, and...Mallard is a terrorist.

That damned metaphor
What's Mallard raving about today?
CFL, Barack Obama.
The CFL is an almost perfect metaphor for Barack Obama, I agree...imperfect, but better than most of the alternatives and representing a step in the right direction.
Mallard's criticism of the CFL is also pathetically metaphoric of his own criticism of Obama. It takes items out of context to score cheap points: While what he says is true, more mercury is produced by burning coal to create electricity for non-CFLs than by broken CFLs. And it ignores key facts: the next generation of CFLs are already becoming available and lower the amount of mercury.
His claim that the media treat Obama better than the other candidates is ill-timed at best and a bald-faced lie at worst.
Also: writing a lengthy screed and drawing a CFL, three times, cannot possibly count as professional cartooning.
