Q: How many liberals does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: One to screw in the lightbulb, 300 to stand around hoping that nobody gets hurt, 100 lawyers ready to sue in case the lightbulb changer gets electrocuted and 1,000,000 to march on Washington to demand that the government provide everyone with an inexhaustable supply of lightbulbs and a crew to put them in.

You're making sure you get you "topic limit" in aren't you

How many libertarians does it take to screw in a linghtbulb?

Answer : That's not easy to answer...

- 30 persons to form a committee to select the right lightbulb.
- 20 to investigate why the choice in lightbulbs is so limited.
- 60 would not select or investigate or screw, but just plain protest that the committee and the investigators are getting a little bit too elitist for the good of the project.
- 10 Libertarian dignitaries to save the lightbulb screwing project from sinking to the bottom of the sea, given a schism or two.
- 300 staffers to oversee a referendum where all libertarians would get a chance to decide on the lightbulb.
- How many Libertarians are there, Icenine? Add them to the total.
- 1 Libertarian to screw the damn thing on.

Don't forget an additional 100 lawyers that are protesting on behalf of the candle industry!

Yeah, plus another 1,000,000 to pay the taxes they increased to fund the lightbulb program.

Don't you mean an additional 147,000,000?

And Teller is right... there would definitely be a few hundred lawyers fighting for the rights of the candle industry!

Not to mention another 1,000 newspaper editors to post the headline: "Lightbulb Burns Out: Women And Minorities Effected The Hardest"...
