Unless you live in Arizona. Why don't they have daylight savings? Better yet, why do some counties in Indianapolis not have daylight savings?

In Indiana, it's because those counties basically sit on the border between Eastern and Central. They simply shift who they line up with.

In Arizona, it's because they have this delightful habit of flipping the bird at the federal government from time to time.

Daylight savings saves the nation 1% of its energy costs per year, I think.

re: #9 victor_yugo

Addendum: In Indiana, some counties don't change. Then, when the other counties around them change their clocks, the counties in eastern Indiana line up with either EST (like now) or CDT (before today).

It does work out, I promise.

In considering the suppression of the video evidence by the L.A. Times, I think a "new" standard has now been set. What this means is the following -- anyone possessing damning evidence of X which one wishes to remain "top secret" need only submit said evidence to the L.A. Times and then further claim that "ya don't wanna have it revealed to the public." This appears to be a method even safer than any government agency (government agencies being famously known for their "leaks" to the press). So, once again, anyone out there with incrminating evidence (re: Obama) be sure to ship it off to the L.A. Times for suppression. The information will be locked up tighter than at any vault. Yeah, "The LA Times re-defines what it means to be a 'journalist' in the 21st Century." Way to go, L.A. times!

PETER HITCHENS: The Zombie and the Third-World Marxist ... How the American West views the presidential race

From the article:

I was shocked when a respectable, conservative, professional woman suddenly snapped out the cruel, dismissive words 'John McCain is a zombie' in what had until then been a light-hearted chat about politics.

My secret identity is revealed!

The hate mail continues to pour in from fans of Robert Spencer. Just received:

Looking over the content of this site, one would first assume this was a
conservative site. But after reading Friday night open, it is obvious
that LGF is just another fascist website. Fascism by definition, a
political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti)
that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands
for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,
severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of
opposition. This is exactly how this site is run. It is a shame that
you fascists claim to be conservative when in fact your forcible
suppression on anyone that doesn’t agree with your views is
blacklisted. Yet you claim to be against the fascist/liberal party all
the while using the same exact tactics. You would make Hilter proud by
the tactics used to suppress any dissenting opinion. What is next? You
going to claim it’s your right to remove/block anyone not agreeing
with your views all the while suppressing the rights of others? I would
paste this on the blog but due to your fascist suppression of ideas.
One can’t register. It is a sad, pathetic day when the self
claimed conservatives at this site deny freedom of speech or expression
just as the libs do without as much as allowing any rebuttal from those
you deem threatening or racist. Your PC is sickening and at best you,
Charles, have become the very thing you allege to be against. Feel free
to post this to your blog, although I doubt you will.

Was at coffee with a friend this morning. She is not politically savvy at all. I was talking to her, letting her know how afraid I am about a possible super majority for the Democrats. She looked at me and said "I was thinking the other night about Obama and his speech before the baseball game. I thought what a waste of money and is this how he will act with our money if he is president?" I was relieved she saw through it. If she did, surely others have as well.

What happened on Friday? (or do I want to know?)

**NOTICE TO ANYONE WHO HAS RECENTLY CANCELED THEIR LOS ANGELES TIMES SUBSCRIPTION**BEWARE**BEWARE**

My family reduced our LA Times subscription to Sundays only about 6 months ago (for obvious reasons), however, once the Rashid Khalidi malfeasance emerged, we last week decided to cancel our subscription completely. Well, imagine our surprise (NOT!) when another LA Times Sunday edition showed up on our driveway this morning. My wife called and was put on the phone with a "specialist" WHO CLAIMED THAT WE HAD ORDERED A NEW SUBSCRIPTION AS OF TODAY. My wife responded in no uncertain terms that we had canceled. Period. The specialist replied asking, "Well, are you sure nobody else in your household ordered a new subscription?". My wife replied "Absolutely not & we would never even consider receiving the LA Times as long as it continues such dishonest and underhanded practices." The "specialist" conceded that there was nothing he could do to change my wife's mind (well, DUH). The point is that the LA Times will do anything, no matter how unethical, whether news-oriented or subscriber-oriented. They are power mad, narcissistic pseudo-journalist clowns who want to patronize us all, because, you know, we're so inferior. All I can say is: Caveat Emptor! And when you find yourselves in the same situation, be sure to call and let those bastards know exactly why you want nothing more to do with them. Amen.

re: #3 Noam Sayin'

I'd really like to set them back another hour.

I'd like to set them back to 1980.

After nearly a decade of planning, researchers will begin recruiting pregnant women in January for an ambitious nationwide study that will follow more than 100,000 children from before birth until age 21.

The goal of the federally financed project, the National Children’s Study, is to gain a better understanding of the effects of a wide array of factors on children’s health.

“What we are doing is bold and needs to be bold in order to answer some pressing questions,” said the study’s director, Dr. Peter C. Scheidt, a pediatrician on the staff of the child-health division of the National Institutes of Health.

Investigators hope to find explanations for the rising rates of premature births, childhood obesity, cancer, autism, endocrine disorders and behavioral problems. To that end, they will examine factors like genetics and child rearing, geography, exposure to chemicals, nutrition and pollution.

While few quarrel with the goal, some experts worry that the expansive project will take resources away from smaller and more focused perinatal and pediatric research, particularly when budgets are certain to be strained by the financial crisis. The total cost is estimated to be $2.7 billion.

Participating mothers and children (fathers will be encouraged but not required to take part) will be given periodic interviews and questionnaires. They will further be asked to submit samples of blood, urine and hair. Air, water and dust from their environments will also be sampled and tested.

“Something like this has never been done in this country,” said a principal investigator for the study, Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, professor and chairman of community and preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan. “It’s past time for us to do this.”

Studies of comparable size and scope are under way in Britain, Denmark and Norway.

Conceived during the Clinton administration and authorized by the Children’s Health Act of 2000, the National Children’s Study is being led by a group of federal agencies. Besides the health institutes, they are the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Education.

Daylight savings saves the nation 1% of its energy costs per year, I think.

From Wiki, so it might be true:

The U.S. Dept. of Transportation concluded in 1975 that DST might reduce the country's electricity usage by 1% during March and April, but the National Bureau of Standards reviewed the DOT study in 1976 and found no significant savings

2007 study found that the earlier start to DST that year had little or no effect on electricity consumption in California

A 2008 study examined billing data in Indiana before and after it adopted DST in 2006, and concluded that DST increased residential electricity consumption by 1% to 4%, primarily due to extra afternoon cooling.

I'm convinced that we are at the point that many more of us will have to take our children out of government schools, as the only way to avoid the insideous, constant indoctrination that takes place in almost every subject.

My 8 year old has a "Save the seals" work sheet. Save them from whom? Native American hunters who have been authorized to hunt? It is so vapid, so vacuous.

(We are homeschooling our 12 year old, and we just bought him an anthology of Ray Bradbury stories. I was getting chills reading some of the excerpts.)

Not to trump your pessimism but they won't let you take your kids out of their schools. Home Schooling will be illegal.

re: #98 arethusa

No one knows the results of early voting, just the partisan breakdowns. Which are very much in line with 2004, when Bush won, btw, with no sign of the huge youth turnout Obama has promised yet.

Early voters are people that have already made up their minds...obviously. So when they state that this % of Dems voted and this % of Repubs, they are only speaking of which way the early voters are registered, not how they voted. I'm a registered Dem but I guarantee you I didn't vote Dem. Lots of people like that, I think.

Only the votes on election day will probably indicate where the undecideds go. Think when it is over, it will be a shocker...and all of us will be smiling.

But God help those in Grant Park. Daley stated that the SS is in charge of security. Of Obama and entourage no doubt. But it is the 1 million that are at risk. Trampling alone could be a problem depending on how things break open. And if Obama looses or they can't call the election before these folks go home it will probably not be pretty.

His ego took him to Grant Park. He should have remained in a hotel. Maybe it will rain and reduce the size of the crowd. But this doesn't feel right.

I have always repected Spencer's take on Islam in general. But, if he's saying the only way to beat them is to become like them....no thanks. I have more faith in our ideas than their dogma.....one is right and tested, the other is a bunch of crap made up by a sick pedophile.

I respected him as well - until I saw one of his frequent contributors thinking loud about how one could remove all those Muslims in a peaceful way, like the Czechs and Poles removed the Germans after WWII.
That - while understandable on the background of what happened before and during WWII - was by no means 'peaceful' or 'supervised' - and that was it for me.

I setup a temp email acct at Gmail for her. I used Vote08(her last name) password Vote08. I then sent her the link to BO saying he wants to bankrupt the coal industry. In the email I told her to make up her own mind but the country needs her vote.

15 minutes later my phone rang. She used caller ID to call me back. She said she was voting for McCain. Her father worked in the coal mines and died there. She was mortified at BOs audacity to shut down an industry.

I went back to my calls. Ten minutes later an email popped up. She cc'd me on her email. She sent out the link to her entire address book with the Vote McCain in big letters.

It took me over 20 minutes to win one vote but it was worth it. Back to dialing!

I think they will have to allow homeschool - but they will make sure that anyone homeschooled is effectively barred from participating in public life - making it more difficult to get into college - not hiring them for government work - and it's going to be really tough if we have socialized health care - and well - those long wait times will be quite a bit longer for people who aren't "cooperating."

Hi Folks,

I mentioned my 97 year old grandmother and her possible vote a few days ago. (She is a real firecracker of a woman, still able to keep up with anyone 60 years her junior.) Anyways, she has voted in every election for the last 80 years and has NEVER voted anything than straight Democrat. There was a good chance she was going to vote for McCain, which has our entire family abuzz.

Well, she let my Dad know that she voted early and voted for the Democrat. In her own words, "I couldn't bring myself to vote for the Communist, so I voted for the Democrat, or the closest thing to a Democrat, John McCain."

God Bless her, if she can see through the facade of "The One" anyone can. You can bet she is not the only one in her "home" doing so. (She is not exactly known for keeping her opinions to herself, nor are her neighbors. They tend to all do things as a group.) Incidently, she is from South Milwaukee, (Cudahy actually), Wisconsin... a supposed strong hold of "The One".

This is not over by a long shot folks!

Well - that just documents nicely how right you were to sever the connection.

The mask behind which fascists (the real ones) and communists hide do slip sooner or later - mostly sooner than they would like.

Question for Charles:

Within the past day or so, I posted a link in LinkViewer. I don't even remember what the subject was (exposing a Kossack's vile opinion or tactic, perhaps?), but I do remember knowing it wouldn't be well received by lizards even though I thought they'd want to know ... so I put the word "(Ducking)" in the comment box and prepared myself for possible negative ratings. However, now the link is gone entirely.

I'm not complaining, it's fine with me, but it'd help to know what the subject was so as not to revisit it in the future.

Do you remember? Is there a list of deleted links somewhere I could have checked? I check my link ratings from time to time to see if my finds are well received or ignored, just to know if my efforts are worthwhile. If some are not, there's no point in me wasting anyone else's time.

Thanks for any guidance.

As a fully disabled (thus unhire-able, apparently) person, I have loads of free time to review blogs and share what I find here in hopes that spreading links (other than the cool scientific ones) will help defeat Obama and his plans for the destruction of my wonderful country. Having guidelines would help me do that most efficiently inasmuch as I have no greater goal at the moment.

Wired PC...Wireless Mac

I tend to keep my notebooks wireless and desktops wired. I didn't want to wire the house with Cat5 when I moved in and I haul the notebook all over the place.

Various banned LGFers and sundry leftists have come on to my zomblog comments section to attack me for having created a jpeg of the Weather Underground logo and the Obama logo side-by-side; and also to attack me for coming out and stating that I did so to influence the "not-paying-attention-to-facts" electorate. Then, when I ignored their attacks, they came back on to run a victory lap and say I didn't respond because they had won the argument.

So, they compelled me to waste 10 minutes to respond in my own comments section. Which I just did thusly:

-----------

I see nothing wrong, shameful, embarrassing or discrediting about me trying to communicate visually with the kind of voters who respond to visual cues. In fact, a great deal of Obama’s campaign imagery revolves around that exact concept.

Let’s see if I can put it more clearly for you: There are many many many policy reasons to not vote for Obama in this election; and such reasons have been spelled out extensively by countless writers and analysts. I dislike his approach to foreign policy; I hate his nanny-state domestic plans; I think he will intentionally or unintentionally cripple the economy, I think he will encourage America’s enemies worldwide by being too “soft” militarily; he will promote “social justice” educational programs which are little more than indoctrination; and so on and so on. I could list reasons all day.

But if a voter at this stage of the campaign remains “undecided,” then they obviously aren’t paying attention to facts or policy statements. If you’re a leftist, you like Obama for these policies and will vote for him. If you’re not a leftist, you hate his policies and will not vote for him. And if you’re a single-issue voter (abortion/guns/etc.) you’ve already made your choice as well. After all that, who remains? Very few people. And those people are very hard to decipher — because they don’t make decisions based on hard, solid information. They apparently make their decisions on impressions, or gut feelings.

The Obama campaign, and its supporters, targets such voters directly when they depict Obama as a saint, or with a halo, or having a presidential seal, or being messianic, and so on. None of those campaign strategies are fact-based, or have any connection to reality. Such strategies exist solely to reach the “feeling”-based electorate.

So when I glue together the Weather Underground logo and the Obama logo — which, by the way, is a minor aspect of my report — I do so to appeal to the same group of voters. To put a seed of unease in their brains about Obama.

It is no different than any of the pro-Obama propaganda imagery that has been floating around for months. In fact, mine is at least based in fact, because those are in fact their logos.

What you both are saying, essentially, is: We are allowed to have non-informational propaganda imagery to promote our candidate, but you, zombie, are not allowed to produce non-informational imagery that will damage Obama’s image. When we create propaganda, it certainly doesn’t damage our credibility, for we are above criticism; but when you produce something to puncture our propaganda, it damages your credibility.

Typical double standard.

If you think I’m no longer credible because I pointed out similarities between the Weather Underground’s statements in the past, and the words and images of the modern Left (as embodied by Obama), then you are free to seek entertainment elsewhere on the Web.

That's exactly the way they are set up too.
The hardest part of the exercise was having to take a crash course on Mac.
That was my first time ever working on one.
Not rocket science though

re: #8 mardukhai

Yes, sir, I did.

Spring forward, fall back.

Miserable rainy day here in sunny California. But I didn't have to water my plants.

I'm happy - the rain ended the fire season around here.

re: #199 buzzsawmonkey

Meantime, can someone explain to me why it is necessary for broadcast TV to switch to "digital," thereby rendering hundreds of TVs non-functional unless they are compatible to a special box, or hooked up to cable?

It is for the Gov't to free up the spectrum used by the current analog TV signals. There are many reasons for allocating that spectrum to other uses, including improved emergency services communication.

Analog TV as it stands right now, is a very old standard, and while it works well enough for some people, it has been showing its age for quite a while now and is due for replacement. The tricks and processing designed into current TVs just to improve the way the crappy current signal looks is reaching limits. This should have been done years ago.

Don't have to! Hahaha!

Chad Johnson, did I miss something?

/I could have sworn he legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco and the NFL was letting him get away with it

Not until he buys several thousand jerseys with his OLD name on it. . .

re: #233 NYCHardhat

My pleasure. Now you just turn off that TV and read yourself some threads. It'll all be fine.

Was only gonna cost him 4.5million.

Any guesses as to who wrote this?

I will not allow people who support violent totalitarian ideologies, Communists, neo-Nazis or others, to use my material.

In my experience, those who disapprove of Israel's right to exist are either anti-Semites or suffer from very poor judgment. Sensible people should support Israel's self-defense against Jihad. If you don't do this then I don't trust your judgment on other issues, either.

re: #212 NYCHardhat

I pray that this isn't the beginning of the end. Tuesday will be interesting. Moonbats will riot either win or lose. I'm scared, terrified, and pissed.

That's why my hubby is going to go buy two shotguns today.

re: #201 zombie

Ann althouse took a dig at you, too.

Please everyone, message Drudge to get him to make the "Obama wants to bankrupt coal industry" story the banner headline to get as many eyes as possible on it. For fun send messages to the UMWA.org website asking if they've heard how their candidate wants to destroy them. :)

re: #246 livefreeor die

Soap will work just fine too.

/Even for the moonbats that look "clean", like Ayers.

re: #234 livefreeor die

Ooh-can we live blog that if it happens? One of my favorite LGF threads ever was the million man march one.

The first one was pathetic and even humorous, I don't think this one would be...it would be tragic....

But, I think, even if he wins, there will be some kind of riot...didn't Chicago burn when the Bulls won their championships?

re: #20 victor_yugo

But it costs us more than that in lost productivity and health care, due to disrupted sleep cycles, and not just when we lose an hour going to DST.

Changing the clocks is absolutely idiotic.

Obama was at the Million Man March, wasn't he?

Move to Arizona, we don't change our clocks. If you've ever been here in the summer, you realize we do not want or need any more daylight.

Only Congress is arrogant enough to think they can change Time.

re: #201 zombie

Another clear sign of the immaturity of these people. They love to get into a slanging match, take up time and bandwidth, and use the occasion to propagate their hateful ideology.

Good for you that you didn't answer initially - and what you did write in the end just udnerlines your whole report.

Well done - and congrats on your patience!

Yes, that one was pretty bad as I remember.
And, all sarcasm aside, I pray that people don't go to this event in Chicago, especially with their children. Either way, it's going to get bad.
