Daylight Saving Time
In the past seven years, the Bush administration has taken only one action I agree with: extending Daylight Saving Time in both directions. Daylight Saving Time is clearly superior to Standard Time, particularly for those among us with seasonal affective disorder. Moreover, Daylight Saving Time stands as a testament to the irrepressible human spirit, which expresses its rebellion against scheduling its activities around nature's implacable laws by scheduling its activities one hour off from nature's implacable laws.In order to seal his legacy, Bush must, in one last unilateral declaration, extend Daylight Saving Time to the entire year, blotting out Standard Time once and for all.
