You've ... Got ... To ... Be ... Kidding ...


[Checks calendar ... ]

Nope. Well past the 1st.

But this has to be a joke ...

Daylight exacerbates warning

You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

Well, at least we now have a really easy solution to global warming. Just make the days shorter...
 
Hey! Why not turn Antarctica into a tropical resort while we're at it?
 
I can remember when the decision as to whether to go to daylight saving time was a local option, not a matter of federal legislation. Every year, the papers were full of letters to the editor for and against it. And the same jokes got repeated every year. One of those repeated jokes was about the person who complained that the extra hour of sunlight was burning up his garden. I'll spare you the others.
 
The correspondent is known, apparently, for his snide sarcasm, and is a favourite of the local editors for that reason. In short, yep, it's a joke.

Thank goodness. Now ... who does that remind me of?
