Don't forget!

Liberals, remember this is the end of super daylight savings time. You were probably too stoned to remember when we set our calendars ahead by a day back in March, but now is the time to make up for it. Set your calendars back by one day. Tomorrow will be Saturday again, the day after will be Sunday and two days after that will be election day. And don't watch TV on the new Monday. The networks are just having an boring emergency test on what they would do if all the liberals forgot to vote and McCain even won in DC.

Not a $pendy watch (~$60), but it's solar-powered (no batteries) and resets itself a couple of times a day with some atomic clock signal from Colorado.

Best dang watch I've ever owned.

if Obama wins, the day will now be 30 hours long because he is the One and felt like it

“Daylight Saving Time: Why Did We Do It?”

Here in Arizona, we don’t. :)

Remember, Reppublicans vote Nov 4

Democrats vote Nov 5.

Here’s the part I don’t understand. Why not, instead of abandoning daylight savings time, just go on it PERMANENTLY. In other words, always be in “spring forward” mode.

DST is great in the summer when you have sun until 9 or 9:30. Winter is all the more depressing when it’s dark at 4 or 4:30. Why move backwards at all?

The only “gain” would be having the sun come up a little earlier, but how much value does that have? It’s either the time when you’re getting up, getting ready to work, or on the way to work, versus shifting that daylight toward the end of the day when you get off work.

“Fall back” is pointless.

Iraq stopped doing Daylight Savings Time this year. They announced it just a few days before we were to "spring forward" on April 1.

I'm quite OK with it, myself.

Now that the world is all connected, we should go to a nonlinear clock. Have the hours go by quickly during the work day, especially between 3 and 5 o’clock. Have time in the evening go slower so you can relax. Have it go slower as well when you first get up so you don’t have to rush to work and you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast. :^D

It’s to show you that not even Time itself is immune to meddling by the Gooberment...

Daylight Saving Time: Why Did We Do It?

So we know when to change the batteries in the smoke detectors . . .

[mysterio]

I hate switching clocks. Our governor recently forced us to begin observing make-believe time.

Why not split the difference? "Spring" forward and never "fall" back. Permanent DST. Everybody wins.

Instead of arguing pro/con — why not just move the clocks 30 minutes and then quit messing with them?

Both sides win!
