ON FACEBOOK, Virginia Postrel writes that she thinks “there’s no chance the Republicans will even seriously try to repeal the light bulb ban, which would require actually bringing a bill to the floor (or at least having committee hearings). They want the benefits of public anger without actually addressing it–even on this easy issue. Needless to say the budget is much harder.”

Disgraceful. And maybe they’ll do better than Virginia thinks. But if you lack faith in them, it’s not too late to stock up!
