Now if you're Al Gore you can afford $10 a pop for squiggly-pig-tailed fluorescent light bulbs. But if you're mainstream America two or three kids mom and dad working outside the home that's not a very good deal.

I was at a party and some squiggly looking dude with a bow tie came up and said 'How'd you like to be on TV?' Turns out he was the programming guy at the Food Network. They had me come into the office and I did a 'Ready Set Cook' with Emeril Lagasse I believe.
