THIS is what we are up against. THIS level of stupidity is absolutely intolerable.

[truthisfreedom]

She actually believes that the new daylight savings time rules made daylight last longer, increasing global warming. A liberal plot. Oh, the humanity.

Daylight exacerbates warning

You may have noticed that March of this year was particularly hot. As a matter of fact, I understand that it was the hottest March since the beginning of the last century. All of the trees were fully leafed out and legions of bugs and snakes were crawling around during a time in Arkansas when, on a normal year, we might see a snowflake or two. This should come as no surprise to any reasonable person. As you know, Daylight Saving Time started almost a month early this year. You would think that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate. Or did they ? Perhaps this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects.

1. I saw that at fstdt

[Fridays Child]

3. What is fstdt?

2. And that, ladies and gentleman, is your Republic party base

People like that should not be allowed to handle heavy machinery.

4. "...the warming effect that an extra hour of daylight would have..."

LOL, this letter has got to be a joke - it's just gotta be!

[Jackpine Radical]

6. I agree it's a joke.

Even a subtle and brilliant joke.

[Sweet Freedom]

14. I think it may be real

Catwoman posted this yesterday. There's a newspaper scan and message #43 has a link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=743625&mesg_id=744914

I searched the internets yesterday to see if this was a hoax. I didn't find anything on snopes, etc.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. I saw it on Catwoman's thread and said pretty much the same thing

then.

I still think it's a delicious sendup, written by someone subtly poking fun at the mentality of the wingnuts. It's so grammatical, so eloquent, so nicely constructed. I think it's getting exactly the reaction the writer intended.

[Crunchy Frog]

19. Yes. If it were written by a real wingnut, it would not be so grammatical.

Something that the satirists still need to get straight.

[Sweet Freedom]

21. You could be right.

I was just trying to point out that the letter itself appears real. :hi:

[KansDem]

5. She sounds like the type who believes we can land on the sun...

But only at night.

[gratuitous]

7. I'm sure someone will notify Connie

That the law enacting the earlier start for daylight saving time was passed by Congress in 2005, and signed by President Bush. Although someone this stone-brained probably doesn't comprehend the idea of a law enacted in one year not taking effect until another one. And that thunder is the sound of the angels bowling.

9. Actually, Fark...

Has a link...this lady is a LAWYER for Chrissakes...

Man...

...law school? :)

10. The really frightening thing about this letter is...

...that if Bush read it, he would probably agree with her. :)

[Ian David]

11. That has GOT to be a joke, right?

And when we set the clocks BACK an hour, in the fall, notice how it starts to get COLDER outside?

Now, all we have to do is set the clocks BACK an hour in the Spring, and FORWARD an hour in the Fall... and the whole planet will remain a comfortable temperature all year long!

Also, you can reduce Global Warming by measuring the temperature in Centigrade rather than Fahrenheit.

12. And these people are running the country!

:crazy:

[theoldman]

15. Not a joke, This woman is for real, a live person.

[seriousstan]

16. She is a bankruptcy lawyer, college educated you know.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. That has to be a parody. I'm not buying that it's for real. n/t

20. The retardation runs DEEP......

What a fucking Moran!!
