What time is it? It's stupid time!

Yesterday one of Dean’s coworkers went on a rant against daylight savings time.

“I don’t see why I have to lose an hour every spring. That’s just stupid. Arizona doesn’t have daylight savings time, because they have enough sunlight and they don’t need to save any. If they had an extra hour of sunlight, they’d just use more electricity for air conditioning. The government shouldn’t be telling me how to set my clocks.” I think it goes without saying that the guy is an avid fan of Fox News.

I gotta give Dean credit. He boldly waded into the deep, murky waters of stupidity, trying to explain. The guy cut him off as a great idea occurred to him.

“We should just change in the fall and not in the spring. I don’t mind gaining an hour in the fall, but I hate losing an hour in the spring. So we should just change the clocks once a year instead of twice.”

He saw absolutely nothing wrong with this plan. In fact, he thought it was brilliant.

Dean knew when to give in.

Thanks again, sweN xoF

Okay, they didn’t exactly get this one backwards. More like sideways. Need to show the “union thugs,” AKA teachers, policemen, firemen etc. in Wisconsin being violent? Well, here’s just how bad these union thugs are. They refuse to act thuggish, even when the Fox camera crews schlepped all the way to Wisconsin in the dead of winter. Couldn’t they kindly oblige them and show some true Midwestern kindness and hospitality by cracking a few skulls? No?

Fine, you jerks. Be “nice.” We’ll just show some other footage. Pay no attention to the palm trees in the background. They were . . . uh, planted in Wisconsin by those damned global warming hoaxers.

More fun facts: how many right-wing union-bashers are union members? Well, for starters there’s Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin, all members of AFL-CIO-affiliated unions.

“In the same segment where O'Reilly blamed government financial woes on union benefits, he not only said he was an AFTRA member, but that his membership had benefited him in the past:

‘On a personal note, I'm a member of a union, AFTRA, and when I was working at Inside Edition some years ago, the King World company tried to renege on pension benefits," said O'Reilly. "AFTRA took them to court and the case was settled. If the shop had been non-union, we might have been stiffed.’”
