1. that she wrote it shows what an idiot she is,

that they published it showed how ignorant they are.

i have to laugh to keep from crying.

2. Those people would believe Saddam Hussein had an A-bomb

stuffed down his underwear if Rush Limbaugh told them. But they won't believe the overwhelming majority of the world's scientists and the evidence of their own eyes when it comes to global warming.

3. This is also what we're up against,

a conversation I've had since 2000:

"Who did you vote for?"

"I voted for Blivet."

"Howcome you voted for him?"

"I dunno, I just did."

Cows are more intelligent.

4. IT IS SATIRE!!!!

She wrote another thing afterwards, saying it was satire. It is a joke, satire from a librul.

8. OK...that makes me feel better.

Hard to tell from this LTTE. Very good job, if that's the case.

[uppityperson]

10. Yes, it is so well done that author posted an explanation.

5. 1 hour of daylight increases the world's temperature? STFU, Connie.

[bluerum]

6. Please. No one is that stupid. It's satire. eom

7. You can't honestly think Ms.. Meskimen is serious? Can you? n/t

[Old and In the Way]

9. Do you think this country has any Ms. Meskimen's writing LTTE's?

Hell, we have Imhofe in the Senate that would give her a run for their money.

[poverlay]

12. I can't believe that anyone seriously believes that daylight savings is to

blame. It must be satire. If there are sane people out there who really believe that, then I'm going to eat the barrel...

I'm not familiar with Senator Imhofe, so I don't get your reference. Sorry 'bout that. I thought it was spelled "Inhofe" with an "h". I better go do some research.

11. This madness must stop!

The March 23 Aspen Times carried a similar warning:

Dear Editor:

I am sure that if you have been out on the trails of our wonderful mountains lately you have noticed the snow is disappearing rapidly, and there are rocks and trees poking through at levels seemingly unprecedented in the memory of those of us that pay attention to such things. It is heartbreaking to to see their majestic finery slipping away so early.

Ah, the locals say, global warming is to blame! They have seen the movie by Albert Gore and are convinced, and even our own Aspen Skiing Co. is buying it. But the true culprit is right under their noses, on the faces of their watches, foisted upon us by another sainted Democrat - one Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

Yes, my friends, I am speaking of the insidious evil known as daylight-saving time! When we switched our clocks ahead on March 10, we not only lost an hour of sleep for one night, we added an hour of sunlight to every evening until next November. Any fool can tell you that afternoon sun is the hottest sun, as that is the hottest part of the day! Think of the damage an extra hour of solar radiation does to the snow on our mountains. And this year, with a Democrat congress, daylight-saving time was moved up four weeks, adding all that extra melting time. It will be a wonder if there is even a snow bank left to play in when April rolls around.

Now is the time for all right thinking Americans to call their congressman to tell them that this madness must stop, before Aspen and its economy melts away.
