No, not the silly kerfluffle whipped up by Bill O’Reilly and Company.

Its the slow decline of the incandescent Christmas light, gone from our State Capitol and the birthplace of the American Revolution.

Congress has now gotten into the act.  Its new energy bill will make incandescents “extinct by the middle of the next decade”, per the Boston Globe.

I know, I know, LEDs and florescents are much more efficient, but c’mon, aren’t real incandescent Christmas lights nicer?
