The great thing about daylight savings time

Posted on November 4, 2013 | 2 comments

The great thing about daylight savings time, which switched over Sunday morning, is that the digital clock in my Honda CRV, which I never reset an hour ahead back in the spring because I can never remember how to do it, is now correct. Whoo-hoo.

Other than that, tell me again why we need daylight savings time? Unlike Dr. Helen, I don’t hate it. I just find it annoying. Fall back is easy, but spring ahead is a real pain. And I have better things to do than learn how to reset the car clock. It’s easier just to remember it’s an hour behind. Until it isn’t. Again.

It’s the elderly, stupid? Actually, it’s the pols and their media enablers

“We all know that the elderly are by far the wealthiest group of Americans and yet their demands on current and future generations are insatiable…”

The manufactured debt argument between our thieving political elites, who waste our tax money on their pork-barrel spending, has lately turned into repeated attacks on seniors who dare to take Social Security checks, use Medicare, and, worst of all, live past the age of seventy.

Here’s the latest one, boldly claiming that senior “private pleasures” are the cause of the debt problem. Really? We’ve been paying Social Security payroll taxes all of our adult lives (me since my first job in 1960 at age sixteen) so the political elite could steal the money for their cronies and now that they’ve spent it all we deserve nothing?

I plan to vote ALL the incumbents on my ballot OUT next chance I get and I hope other seniors do the same. Especially our adolescent moron of a president.

(As Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, says: “…we have the worst political class we’ve ever had, with the possible exception of the 1850s.”)

That breath of fresh air

Posted on January 5, 2008 | Comments Off on That breath of fresh air

Obama-rama’s free ride is really taking off. So far, nobody is asking how his universal health care program will be any less bankrupting than, say, Medicare. What good it will do to negotiate with terrorists, etc., etc. Dr. Helen sees the questions but can only "hope (they) will be answered prior to the election." Don’t hold your breath.

More on the girlification of public school. Well, middle school, although we have seen signs of it in elementary school as well. It is not reassuring to know that it will only get worse in middle school.
