Congress may extend daylight-saving time
Have they gone completely mad?!! Are they a pack of raving idiots?!! Do they think we are that stupid?!! Actually that's it and Americans agree [with DST not the idiot thing] by 65% according to a recent CNN poll. WAKE UP PEOPLE! I find the assertion that congress can legislate the length of the day insulting. You can have the ignorant masses change their clocks 100 times a year and the sun will still rise and set of it's own accord. There isn't even any REAL data to prove that this feel-good-look-we're-doing-something program actually works or has any real world impact! Their statistics are at best guesses based upon the flawed supposition that "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," to quote House Rep. Ed Markey [D-Massachusetts]. And there’s no way to test the idea with a proper control because most of the world has adopted this stupidity! But just to demonstrate I'll use their 'numbers' [I don't wanna give 'em credence by calling them figures, stats, etc.]. The supposition is a saving of 10,000 barrels a day for roughly 180 days a year [currently]- that's 1.8 million barrels supposedly saved annually by America. We use over 10 times that every day according to the same people! So that's a savings of... 1/4058 of our total annual petroleum consumption. By extending DST by a third we get another additional savings of 600,000 barrels giving a grand savings of 2.4 million barrels. Let me put further perspective on this number- 2.4m barrels is ~0.033% of our annual consumption- 11% of ONE day's consumption- 4.4 gallon/citizen annually- or [at petrol's record high of $58.28/barrel] a savings of $4.66/citizen annually! And that's ONLY if all the guessing, supposition and psychology work on 300 million Americans! I say they can have my five bucks annually and stop fucking with my schedule twice a year! DST is bullshit from Franklin's days and as useful as 'duck and cover' school drills during the cold war! But people ARE stupid. This IS a feel-good-look-we're-doing-something program from the very source of our energy woes. Better than half of what you pay for gasoline and heating fuels is US Federal taxes, it's not the Arabs or OPEC or Exxon screwin' Joe Idiot, it's our own government. Not thru direct action, but in avoiding the well foreseen complexities of our and the world's energy concerns for decade upon decade! NIMBY [not in my back yard] attitudes have prevented more drilling and stifled refinement capacity. There hasn't been an oil refinery built in the US over the last 30 years! Over zealous environmental regulation forces gasoline not to be universal, but specific chemical mixtures for regional and state markets and time of year whose distribution [and un-distribution] is tightly regulated by law. This complexity adds to the price of a gallon and causes much of the seasonal fluctuations. And then there’s the rise of the third world, namely India and China with close to 2.5 billion consumers combined. That's over eight times our population. What do we do when they all want a single home in the 'burbs with 2 cars? That's not even touching that Red China is filling their own strategic reserves of petrol. That means they are driving the price up by buying more than they use! We need a sound, forward thinking national energy policy, not knee-jerk feel-good nonsense while the overburdened world continues to spiral downward under the weight of it's population's hungers! It's also important to remember that America has the cheapest gas prices of the industrialized world. Even if gasoline prices reach $3+ we will still be paying less than half of what our friends in Europe and East Asia are paying!

Oh, Me So Horny! (2004): Running time 140 minutes
Review by Councilman Gombeggar
Now here’s a porn that’s got some real merit, especially if you have a fetish for Asian women. Oh, Me So Horny! May have only four scenes, but each one is very well done in a formula pattern of Asian girl announces “Me so horny” as she (or ‘they’ as you get two girls in the first segment) begins a long (and well choreographed) strip tease while didilling herself. Then it moves onto her giving head to long male protuberances until she declares “Fucky-Sucky” or an even better one-liner of broken English “Fuck tight Asian Pussy!”
The one liners from these girls really make it. The thing is and this is the thrill of it, you don’t know if the girls are just acting really baddly or if they just got off the boat. It’s hilarious! And if they can’t speak the Queen’s English that ‘s OK. These girls are talented in so many other ways it makes up for their lack of verb conjugations.
I, Gombeggar give this one an 8 out of ten. And that’s just for the bad English come-on lines alone! Worth it for the fun; worth it for the porn! See ya next wash day!
Thanx Gombeggar
