Light-Wing Propaganda


Should Congress fail, Daylight-Savings activist Jim Ahmed vows to set this clock forward again and again until Washington gets it, and gets some sun!

"DON'T COME TO ME WITH A PROBLEM, COME TO ME WITH THE SUN!"

Follow this link. Its USA Today in keeping with Stalin's challenge to use varied sources. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-07-22-daylight-congress_x.htm

Two money quotes: One,"This is a huge victory for sunshine lovers," says Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., co-author of the bipartisan measure the House passed April 21. This is indeed HUGE because the "sunshine lovers" have endured that recent spate of major set-backs. Its nice to see them win one for a change.

Two: "This is an ultimate disaster for airlines and all of our customers, who will be horribly inconvenienced," says James May, the group's president and CEO. Two things to notice. One, this is "an" ultimate disaster. Apparantly one of at least several "ultimate" disasters. Two, its not terrorism, or rising prices/falling service, or lousy airports that should keep air travellers awake at night, its, of course, daylight savings time extensions.
