The news irritates me. July 22, 2005

I haven’t read the news in about a week, and then
when I do, everything irritates me.

for
example:

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.”

Now
congress is allowed to manipulate time?! This is my favorite part of href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/07/22/congress.daylighttime.ap/index.html"
target="NewWindow">the story:
 

“According to some senators, farmers complained that a
two-month extension could adversely affect livestock…”
 
what the hell? I really cannot see how livestock will
care if humans are operating on daylight savings time. It’s not like they’ll
have to adjust their watches.
 
it also features a quote from Rep. Fred Upton
(R-Michigan): “Kids across the nation will soon rejoice”
