God Hates Daylight Savings Time?

Thought I would share this hilarious letter sent in by an OKC reader to the Gazette in response to a letter about the benefits of extending daylight savings time to year round in OK:

"Mankind shouldn't have ever screwed around with daylight at all. And this has biblical support that has been overlooked by roughly everyone. Facts: Everything to do with sunlight was installed way back in the beginning of everything - by God. Anyone can authenticate this. It's in the Bible. When God said, Let there be light, he specified standard time - and he didn't want anybody messing with it, ever. Check it out."

The thought that religious fanatics could be anti-daylight savings time never entered my mind as it is just so far out there crazy but apparently God hates daylight savings time...and gays.

And BTW, a quick Wikipedia search shows that the ancient Egyptians, not God, invented timekeeping devices. Anyone can authenticate this.

OMG Snow!

OKC is expected to get a dusting of snow today (less than one inch) and it has everyone freaked out at the mall, the shelves empty at the grocery stores, and schools already announcing closures. My sources here tell me that instead of plowing roads, they shut them down until they can get to them. Can't wait to mock all of my co-workers tomorrow with tales of me sitting in a bar drinking and watching football during snowpocalpse 2010 in the Northeast. My biggest problem was having to dig a 6-pack of beer out of a snowdrift on the deck.
