Daylight Savings Time in Indiana
Well, they got sick of Mitch Daniels in DC and he ran back to Indiana with his tail tucked in! He decided to run for governor and the republicans jumped at it. His good buddy, the prez, even came thru here to tell folks what a great governor he would make. That coming from somebody who has lied and screwed up the country more than anybody else in history should have been a clue to most folks. But oh no, they voted him into office. Our first repub gov. in many a moon. Now after a year of him in his favorite role as Lil Napoleon, people are good and sick of him. He refuses to negotiate. It's his way or the highway! Speaking of which he has rented out a highway to foreign powers. What is it about republicans that they are so anxious to hand our country over to foreign folks?!
Back to Mitch. He ran around Indiana in a sweater and a trailer gladhanding. He ignored the people in Indy. He wanted to be out thar with hiz kinda folk! And he was - just as back country as they wanted to be. He ran law after law thru the legislature! But his big thang - no, not that! If he has it, it ain't big! - that thang that got him on the map was the time change. Now Indiana has had several different time zones since Heck was a pup! It didn't bother anybody. Well, if truth be told, it bothered a few people, too few to bother with! They agonized that people in California or New York were too stupid to know that Indianapolis was not on DST, and cried that nobody knew what time it was in Indiana! Hell, we knew and that was all that really mattered!
Previously whenever anybody mentioned the time change, the folks in the legislature got out their guns! There would be no time change! The entire state rose up in anger. Hey, having ten different time zones worked for us, and fuck anybody who didn't like it! Last year "The West Wing" even did a show ridiculing our time. They had several of the president's staffers trying to catch up with him, but missing him at every stop because the times were different. We laughed and got a kick out of that, but we wuz not about to change no time! But Himhellself got the time changed!! Now everybody is mad cause the time was changed! It's daylight until 10 pm. Parents say they can't make the kids go to bed when the sun is out! Everybody and his mammy is out at all hours of the day and night. Of course at 8 a.m. it's still dark outside! But Himhellself got what he wanted! Did Hoosiers get what they wanted? The man is a pistol! He's yall's dawg!
End.
