Messing with Time Itself

Does the GOP-controlled Congress know no bounds at all? Rhetorical question, I know, but still: they're messing with time itself now, by agreeing to extend daylight-saving time at both ends:

An agreement was reached Thursday to extend daylight-saving time in an effort to conserve energy, but not to the extent the House approved in April. House and Senate negotiators on an energy bill agreed to begin daylight-saving time three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, and extend it by one week to the first Sunday in November. The House bill would have added a month in the spring and another in the fall.

In an "energy" bill, eh? I guess Halliburton has figured out some way to win a no-bid contract for all those extra sunlit seconds. Those dirty bastards! That's it, though: my Nordic heritage now combines with my loathing of the GOP to compel me to officially oppose daylight now. And summer! Bring on a long, dark winter!
