How many Democrats? Oh, around 2553, give or take:
A person to replace the bulb.
A union shop steward to determine if the changer is working within his job description.
An OSHA inspector to measure the rungs on the ladder and ensure they're not too far apart.
Two EPA guys, one to check that it's disposed of in an approved container and the other that its changing doesn't disturb the nest of endangered cockroaches living above the fixture.
Five investigators from the Justice Department to follow up complaints that blacks are disproportionately asked to do this job.
One self-described "Reverend" with a bullhorn to agitate until he's made sure they do.
Thirty-seven OWS protesters on location to demonstrate against GE on behalf of Not One Damn Bulb Day.
An MSNBC reporter and commentator to breathlessly cover the event.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to blame the Tea Party for "shutting down" the light.
One sitting President to hold a press conference the next day to take credit for it and brag about bringing forth "change".
Twenty-five hundred new civil servants to form a new federal department once it's realized what a complicated evolution it is.
