Congress, Helpful as Ever

Somewhere in the great Papal majestry of last week, you may have missed the fact that Congress, these vaulted minds who come together to "help us" (and collect their corporate checks), has found a secret to ending the energy crisis.

Ready?

They want to extend Daylight Savings Time.

No. I am not joking.

This is their answer. Well, this and drilling in a nature preserve in Alaska (the state that WILL sell its own grandmother to get that yearly bonus check instead of paying income tax) where we won't see a drop of oil for more than 10 years and then, at best, it might alleviate worries about maybe six months' worth of American supply.

But Americans may have finally decided to try a hybrid. That's something, anyway.
