What time is it Mr Wolf?

A few years ago you might remember some little fiasco where George W Bush the Great idiot decided in his infinite stupidity he would save the environment by changing the time. Although George would like to think the contrary, he didn't actually change the way the Earth rotates around the Sun (I'm sure he blew as hard as he could though), what Georgie really did was to change the time we spring ahead and fall back. The result being (in his mind) a longer summer and no real change that would offend his gas guzzling chronies in Texas.




Here is the "Act"

The bill amends the Uniform Time Act of 1966 by changing the start and end dates of daylight saving time, beginning in 2007. Clocks were set ahead one hour on the second Sunday of March (March 11, 2007) instead of on the first Sunday of April (April 1, 2007). Clocks were set back one hour on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007), rather than on the last Sunday of October (October 28, 2007).


So what does this mean for you, the person searching for various time related keywords like daylight savings time, time change 2008, daylight savings time 2008 usa, fall back 2008, daylight savings time change, daylight savings time, daylight savings, when is daylight savings time, what time is it, time, time change fall, time change 2008, daylight savings time 2008, time change, daylight saving time, daylight savings time, daylight saving time, standard time, world time clock, time and various other related search terms....

Well, it isn't an hour back yet, it is the same time it would have been yesterday in relation to the relative position of the sun and the earth. If that still confuses you, you don't have to change the time of your VCR unless it was one of those fancy ones that was manufactured prior to Dubya pretending to be god and it adjusts itself automatically. Maybe you hav an older alarm panel that still adjusts based on the old time, well that time is wrong.





Maybe you have windows XP and it is still adjusting for the old time.

The long and short of it is, that old analogue clock on your kitchen wall is probably the most accurate. Of course, depending on your cell phone company, you could always look at your cell phone. (That's what I did before I got this headache)

In honour of Dubbya, and as a public service to the masses, let the Pigs tell you the real time.





PACIFIC STANDARD TIME (PST)


EASTERN STANDARD TIME (EST)


MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME (MST)


So if you did think the time fell back this morning.... Get off the toilet and get ready for work.... You are late!!!! Well, that is if you work today. George hasn't changed Sunday to Monday (to boost productivity) YET.
