Congress Changes Daylight Savings Time
Congress wants to fiddle with when we reset our clocks in an attempt to cut down on energy costs.
I say fuck daylight savings time altogether. What we really need to attack is the stupid Leap Year system.
Why don't we have twelve months of exactly 30 days each? Every year we'd then have five or six days leftover after December that we'd treat as freebie holidays...kind of an extended New Year's Eve celebration. Any fidgeting with our measurement of time could be done then (such as when scientists adjust time in nanoseconds).
FYI...there is a US government website offering the official time for every zone: click here.
