I saw some news today, oh boy.
Normally, the bearer of news like this would ask the receiver of such to have a seat. I expect that you are sitting, so we can dispense with that manuever.
Just in case you have not seen Congress's latest thoughts on how to solve our impending energy crisis, this should come as welcome relief that, indeed, our best and brightest are casting their extra-sensory perception upon the problem.
Guess what? I bet this never occurred to you, but the vast problem will be solved by ... longer Daylight Savings Time hours:
Congress may extend daylight-saving time
I expect this will soon be followed by complete conversion to continuous daylight savings time, because, with this kind of thinking, more has to be better. Then, each successive year, we will simply move another hour forward, ad infinitum, until, voila'! problem solved! Of course, this plan won't work unless a carefully timed set of nuclear detonations takes place to keep the northern hemisphere constantly tilted toward the sun. And screw the southern hemisphere; they've had it too easy for far too long.
And then we'll get Superman to fly anti-clockwise around the earth to bring us back to a time when oil was plentiful.
God help us.
