So, I have been on a guilt-trip (hey, I'm Jewish ...) for the last week because I've not posted since June 8, and I believe that in blogger land that isn't cool. But, I didn't have anything to say. Until now, when Jennifer Kefer, the Climate and Energy Coordinator for COEJL and one of their bloggers notified those of us that are on her list that she'd just posted a new blog on the COEJL blog about the failure of the climate change bill to even get a hearing, and said that this occurred while the National Weather Service had issued yet another tornado warning, and that THAT had reminded her of a joke, but you'd have to read the blog post.
Well, that reminded ME of a joke, too. Last week I was reading one of the Sierra Club's online newsletters and it talked about a Lightbulbs to Leadership Program they'd started, to encourage leadership to change their incandescent bulbs to cfls, with a clever video about "how many lawmakers does it take to change a lightbulb?". And then there were some "how many" jokes, and an invitation to send one in. Which I did, but they don't appear to have it in their collection, so here it is for you:
Q: How many Jews does it take to change a lightbulb?
Bah dah bum ...
A: NONE, because we've already changed all of ours! Thanks to COEJL's campaign, A Light Unto the Nations, subtitled How Many Jews Does It take to Change a Lightbulb?
Have YOU made the switch?
Shalom,
Susan

So glad I helped break your writer's block! For those of us who have already changed their lightbulbs (because we realize that climate change ISN'T a joke), I encourage you to take a look at COEJL's latest initiative and "go beyond the bulb" by purchasing an "Earth Aid Kit" (either for yourself or as a social action project). These kits provide a whole suite of energy-efficient appliances. You can find out more at coejl.earthaidkit.com.
