I invested my saved daylight time at interest. When most of you get your hour back, I got a return of an hour and seven minutes back.
When I asked the fellah who rents the pasture about it, he said you adjust the cattle by winding their tails. Clockwise in the Spring...
As DST ends, I have three house clocks, a microwave, a coffee maker, and one auto clock to adjust.
The clock on the other vehicle was always on Standard Time. Because I can't not adjust my wristwatch anymore, since I quit wearing one, I resist tyranny in the truck.
Always disappointing, when alleged or self-described Constitutional conservatives don't see the fingers of unConstitutional governance for what they are. Welfare, prohibitionism, public transportation, government schools, so broadly accepted, tolerated, even expected, by ignorant citizens, are all creeping (sometimes hustling) socialism.
So, please help stop tyranny:
Sign the Petition to Get Government out of our Clocks!
End Daylight Savings Time!
The point is not DST itself, of course.
The point is the government all up in our clocks.
Get over it, says anybody who's happy with, or not personally affected by, some overreach or other of government.
Sorry. It's the principle of the thing. The principle of the proper and improper province of government.
Businesses, individuals, you want to adjust your work hours or golf club hours or sleeping time twice a year, fine, go ahead. Make it a big club so you can all do it on the same day, whatever you please. The Saving Time Club. You can have votes on when and everything. Your school or job or family doesn't respect your DST preference? Move, change jobs, find a new family. If that were the way it was, we could say, "It's a free country."
"But," ask those inured to tyranny, "Without a Law, everybody would be on different schedules! How will we all know what time it is?"
By leaving the clocks alone. Duh. You change your store's 9-to-5 to 8-to-4 if you want to.
Repeal of 100% of what "government" is permitted to do by our neglect to reign it in - that's the principle of the thing.
Y'know, as long as I'm tilting at windmills…
Repeal Time Zone Designations altogether!
Bring back God's accurate Local Time!
Time, as time zones, were standardized primarily so that train schedules could be accurate. Today's shipping techniques are all digitized, and computerized clocks - as with sundials - know where they are, so, they can know when it is at that location. We can return to God's sun's local time everywhere. If you need to refer to a global standard, there's always Greenwich Mean.
And DST was sold to the public as a means to save on whale oil used for lighting, so people wouldn't burn so much for light in the evening. Whale oil lighting — that's still so precious nowadays!
Returning to local time would be a hoot. Totally possible, with digital, geo-aware, linked-up clocks.
But then, then, after the EMPs…

UPDATE 2015 Feb 21;: Noticed a startling spike in the YouTube viewing stats.
"Myzzled" was embedded in this article by Guy Benson on Town Hall. Thanks, Guy!

This video was found to have been embedded at World News, as of 2014 Feb 19.
This video was embedded at Moonbattery. Honored, Dave, to be in company of those other powerful videos. (Of course, anytime you start with a Reagan speech…)
This video was embedded at TheAmericanRight.com - h/t Topiary Lady!
The video and the two from Moonbattery were also included in the playlist Freedom Isn't Free.
More Memorial Day tribute videos at Zilla of the Resistance
Another I ran across: I Fought For You by andrewmanzano on YouTube.
This video was re-processed and re-posted to YouTube by tomlacovara where it has more thumbs-up than all my videos combined (2014-06-19).

So that no one has to mine the heap of offsite comments for the nuggets, these were panned out of the stream for October 2013, brushed off and polished up as needed before being set here:
Who are the media now?
Wed 2013 Oct 2, 3:25pm
Drop the "media," the "press," and the "journalists," at least in relation to those outlets which once might have deserved such names but which now are all Ministry of Propaganda branches.
I want to mention this again: I had access to Cable yestermorn, and noticed that CableOne had a slide saying they had dropped CNN & other Turner channels over doubled fees and dropping ratings. Big sad, not.
If you wonder, how do we inform, reform, or take over (etc) the media, maybe you're not asking the right question. Or not asking it of the right media.
Newspapers: dying. Broadcast revenues (excepting conservative talk radio)? I don't know, and am too armchair right now to ixquick it, but I presume the big networks are having problems, if not local stations. And this isn't the first fees up/ratings down cable dispute, right?
How will the Dinosaur Media of the Ministry of Propaganda die? Starved to death. Cable (TV) itself is going to go away, I guess. I'll even add the phone service as we know it. Gone the way of telegrams. It's acceleratingly becoming all Internet.
I know broadcast and print still rule a lot of minds. The Sea Change (choke.. did I just use that? what does that mean?) hasn't quite happened yet. CableOne will probably negotiate something with CNN.
Still, hopeful signs. The Media, already, AFAIC, is AoSHQ & kin. With or without government permission.

Soured Brand
Fri 2013 Oct 4, 8:38am
RINO - Perhaps we're past the point where being a RINO should be considered a liberal in conservative's wool. With the old leadership, RINO means not acting like Boener and the Associate Progressives. For example: Cruz is a RINO, a conservative yet Republican.
Sad to see the Republican name so soured. As the search for third-party names always demonstrates, it's hard to beat. For truth in advertising, the great civil struggle is Constitutional Republicanism ("if you can keep it" -BenF) vs Democratic totalitarianism.
Proper Province of Government
Mon 2013 Oct 7, 9:49am
Aside from military and veterans, what has been 'shut down' that is in the proper purview of Constitutional goverment?
Every thing I read about (and so much more, of course) seems like a laundry list of agencies and activities for a Real President or Congress to shut down permanently, handed to the states, or, more often, citizens.
Missed Reagan the first time
Sat 2013 Oct 12, 11:21am
Between being in my 20s and more finding fault in all politicians, and the lefty superficial media reportage pre-Internet, and no contact with counter-narrative sources, I was not enamored of him at the time of his election. I did foresee he'd be in for eight, easily.
By the time the Wall fell, I was a bit more appreciative.
Footnote. When the Wall went up, I was 9. When the Wall came down, our daughter was 9. An age at which one can be mightily impressed by such events.
Nobody ever kicks a dead dog
Sun 2013 Oct 13, 9:42am
"The day he was inaugurated, a friend said to the father of Robert Maynard Hutchins: 'I was shocked this morning to read that newspaper editorial denouncing your son.'
"'Yes,' the elder Hitchens replied, 'it was severe, but remember that no one ever kicks a dead dog.'"
From the chapter "Remember That No One Ever Kicks a Dead Dog," in How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie.
Avoid Laughingstock Media
Sun 2013 Oct 13, 1:01pm
I don't have an actual teevee set. I don't have a teevee antenna. I don't have cable teevee. I don't have satellite teevee. Haven't for years now. Yet, apparently, I'm better informed than 99% of the folks I know who watch those sources.
See, I peruse "independent groups dedicated to observing and disseminating information about important events" every day. Like right here this morning, for example. I also when I can observe and disseminate.
In fact, I only find out what's happening with the old Laughingstock Media when I see it reported by the real media. "Piers Morgan said this, ha ha ha," whoever he is. "Rachel Maddow said that, ha ha ha," whoever she is. They are nobody to me.
What we have (until they come for us) is what "freedom of the press" really means. Everybody owns the "presses" now. This is The Press. Realize it. Promote it. Enjoy it. This is the Media Now. You're not just soaking in it. It B We.
Hizzonah's Lunch

Hizzonah Mayor Richard J Daley would've eaten Rahm Emmanual for lunch, with TFG for desert.

I want to apologize to Nigeria for saying that the Obamacare was like a Nigerian Scam, which it is, but what I meant to say was, the Obama administration is like the Somali Pirates!

I think, this week, I shall have all US Marines required to wear orange clown noses. And ruffles. You know, the really big ones around the neck like those old paintings. They would look just so precious, don't you think, Val?
Thu 2013 Oct 24, 9:44am
And for the Presidential elections, I shall put forth an Fatwa Executive Order that one State will be chosen by 'lottery' ::giggle:: to vote for the President. We'll start with New York...
Muted Morning

Half-moon behind thin clouds
Ghostly pallor across the pastures
A muted All Hallow's Eve
before the glorious All Saints dawn
Ban DST!
Sun 2013 Oct 27, 1:05am
Midnight, Mountain Time,
Except for perverse Man.
Clocks shifted East, but
The Sun refuses to cooperate.
Some kind of ode to Ace of Spades HQ, I guess
Sun 2013 Oct 27, 11:33pm
They warned, avoid the h8rs
They warned, don't enter in
Those racist Ace of Sp8rs
That den of filth and sin
Strange was the attraction
The drunken revels' roar
The fervent shout Get Off My Lawn
As I walked in the door
Nearby gunshots resounded
Pants fell and boobies strained
The urge to flee abounded
Entranced I but remained
When suddenly I hear it
At heart behind the play
Celebrating Spirit
of Because We Can Today!
Defending the borders

Bulgaria is planning to build a wall along its border with Turkey to keep out illegal immigrants.

Govt runs the trains.
Govt runs the roads.
Govt runs the schools.
Govt decides what we eat.
Govt decides what we own.
Govt runs the friggin' clocks!
But we don't want socialism.
Spymaster Obama

Obama Knew Of NSA Spying On Merkel
Obama Claims To Have No Knowledge Of Spying On World Leaders
This begs the old question:
What did the President know?
And when did he quit knowing it?

We apparently got a blast from the South, because it's actually shirtsleeves warm in NE Land of the Red Man this morning. And wet. Like a late Spring day. After some chilly mornings, I'll take it!
Here in the middle of the continent, when the wind blows out of the South, it can feel like Louisiana.
When our weather comes out of the North, hardened Montana visitors have been known to freak out over the biting cold winds. (Srsly)
From the West, thunderstorms and tornadoes. Always impressive.
Out of the East? Taxes, socialists, tyrants, and thieves. Glad the earth's rotation* keeps that to a minimum.
What's Missing is Principle
Wed 2013 Oct 30, 10:45pm
I watched Ronald Reagan's speech for Goldwater with my daughter tonight. Edifying and horrifying half-hour. I think the only thing missing from a total parallel with the current situation is... where's a Barry Goldwater?
Everything "Progressive" actually regresses
Thu 2013 Oct 31, 4:10pm
Civilization developed knowledge and reason, a Golden Rule, and the ideal of Self-Government. I'd add, a common 'faith' of mutual religious tolerance.
Progressivism is an ironically inverted misnomer, like all their projections and deceptions.
Everything "Progressive" actually regresses to those swamps of savage ignorance, superstition, immorality, and tyranny, and, of course, religion of the Elite, from which (some of) human society has barely emerged.
