Daylight Savings is an idea that has outlived its usefulness.<\/p>\n
It certainly wasn\u2019t invented by anyone who had young children. Because young children don\u2019t adjust to daylight savings for weeks. You keep having to put them to bed long before they\u2019re tired and then wake them up an hour before they\u2019re ready. It\u2019s even worse with little babies, who get up whenever they feel like it and whenever you don\u2019t feel like it.<\/p>\n
I suppose it\u2019s better in the Fall than in the Spring, when you lose an hour, but the baby will still scream according to their internal clock, which stays constant year round. <\/p>\n
Is there anything more satisfying than taking a dump?<\/p>\n
My Esteemed Colleague, who has joined me on many a crank call<\/a>, has written a startlingly insightful essay about defecation<\/a>. You can read the whole thing here<\/a>, but I quote just a few excerpts to further discussion:<\/p>\n And:<\/p>\n The key to having a primo defecation experience, according to this writer, is to do so outdoors, complete with \u201cgroans and howls of delight.\u201d<\/p>\n It looks as if I\u2019m quoting him to mock him, but I am not. I have to concede that his central premise has merit. I thoroughly enjoy the process he describes, much to the disgust of Mrs. Cornell. Yet I haven\u2019t done it outdoors since my Boy Scout days, so I may lack the necessary experience to offer a considered opinion. <\/p><\/div>\n You cannot repeal the law of supply and demand.<\/p>\n Demand for oil is way up, yet environmentalists insist that the United States not respond by creating the commensurate supply. Then they\u2019re aghast that gasoline will soon be approaching $4 a gallon.<\/p>\n Conventional oil production in the United States peaked in the 1970s, which, coincidentally, was the last time we built an oil refinery. Even if we upped production significantly, we\u2019d probably not see prices fall, because we\u2019d have to ship the excess oil overseas to be refined.<\/p>\n There\u2019s more oil in shale in the Four Corners area than in all of Saudi Arabia. It could make us entirely energy independent and fuel our nation for hundreds of years. It would cost about $40 a barrel to recover. So why don\u2019t we recover it? Because environmentalists want this area left entirely pristine, despite the fact that it\u2019s primarily scrub and juniper bushes and not much else.\u00a0<\/p>\n As soon as I can strap a windmill on top of my car and go 75 miles per hour, I\u2019ll stop worrying about oil. Until then, it\u2019s about time the enviros gave us a break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DaylightSavings is an idea that has outlived its usefulness.
