DST

I just read that congress passed a bill to extend daylight savings time four weeks.

Personally, I vote to shit can the entire thing, just like in Arizona and Queensland. Proponents claim that DST saves energy, and that extending it will save even more, but their numbers originate from studies conducted in the 70s.

There is also a question whether the savings in lighting costs justifies the increase in summertime air conditioning costs. While most people use more sunlight under DST, most people also experience more heat, which prompts many people to turn on the air conditioner during the warmer afternoon hours. When air conditioning was not widely available, the change did save energy; however, air conditioning is much more widespread now than it was several decades ago. Air conditioning often uses more energy than artificial lighting.

AOL

I got a coaster in the mail today which said on the packaging "Try AOL Again!"

Kinda reminds me of that Bare Naked Ladies, "Never is Enough."

The Aristocrats

Saw the Aristocrats. It was funny, but I won't recommend it, so you can't blame me if you are offended.
