Daylight Saving Time: Another Pinko Commie Plot

This is an actual letter to the editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette North posted on April 15, 2007. Oh my!

Daylight exacerbates warning

You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

5. that was good for a laugh...

a friend of mine...well, his wife...actually asked one day, "How do they know WHEN the extra hour of daylight is going to start? I mean, they schedule DST several years in advance." We laughed for nearly 10 minutes. And the scary part is that she is extremely bright...a literal Rhodes Scholar. She had just never really thought about it and assumed it was an astronomical event.

6. There is always the *SLIGHT* possibility that this was satire. (NT)

[Flubadubya]

7. If I recall correctly, it was a RETHUG Congress that did this...

Idiots! They did it because they couldn't think of anything else besides giving away the farm to the oil companies to make them look like they were doing something "useful or helpful". I remember thinking when they did it what a dumb bunch of Republics. SheeZ!!!

Liberal plot my ass. This was done when the Democrats had no say in ANYTHING at all!!! :grr:

8. Who knew how omnipowerful Democrats really are?Did they order the sun to shine one

hour longer or stop the rotation of the Earth?

10. Apparently, this IS a joke.

My usually alert satire detector didn't go off last night when I posted this because, as I wrote in the OP, it was an actual LTTE.

Good on the writer for managing to alarm us and make us laugh simultaneously!!! :)

11. I thought it was a capitalist plot to make me get out of bed an hour early

which I refuse to submit to.
