The hour of darkness will only cause headaches for power plant operators, both when morons turn off their lights, and when they turn them back on. Ahh, well, another empty gesture.

I’ll celebrate by turning all my electrical items on for one solid hour. Thanks for the heads up.

Illinois was reliably conservative when I grew up. It seems that conservatism brought prosperity. Looks like prosperity breeds Liberalism.

I don't recognize the place anymore.

So the ‘state’ officially becomes a worshiper of darkness?

I think I’ll celebrate here by going out in the country and burning some old tires.

If what you do isn’t very important, then sure, turn off the lights and go home.

But, again, if what you do is so unimportant you can afford to sit in the dark and not do it, why do you bother in the first place?

How about Earth Day every day, and we shut down government offices we really don’t need?

How about a counter-protest? Let’s turn on all our lights, TV’s, dishwasher, toss in some laundry, bake a cake, etc.

The scary thing is some criminals are probably already planning how to take advantage of empty offices and occupied homes being in darkness for a predetermined hour!

Will the victimized have grounds for a lawsuit against the organizers of this event?

I already promised some polar bear guys that I would leave mine ON tomorrow night from eight to nine to demonstrate my solidarity with the polar bears.

A couple magnesium flares on the front lawn of the governor’s mansion would do a lot to shine some light on the subject.

Blago’s probably wondering if they’ll observe it when he’s in prison.

Whata dipstick.

Hopefully the state would already have all lights turned off except ones needed for safety or working employees on a Saturday evening.

I haven’t taken measurements yet, but the Illinois governor may be more stupid than our Michigan governor.

WHAT AM I SAYING?

20 quarters of negative growth and getting worse. No one can beat Michigan’s governor for dark ages stupidity. A baby born in Michigan today will be crying to leave tomorrow.
