Tapping Into the Day Light Savings Bank

So, its 4:55 a.m. and the black furry alarm clock goes off. Jumps out of his basket directly thumping his 14 and a half pounds onto the bed. Pounces on me, PD Budd, who sleeps curled warm next to the Typist's buns, and then paces around us, waiting...
There is no way to set this living clock for Standard Time, he is still ticking to DST and wants to go outside because his bladder is ready at 6 a.m. EDT
So, I get a little fishy snack while the Typist makes her coffee, then we return to our nice warm bed while the Clock prowls the out in woods on a chilly dark Appalachan morning. He's such an animal!

Good Morning to all of us! Welcome Back to a Standard Time, a Time We Barely Remember.

This year when someone thought we needed to save even more day light than in the past we went into November on DST. Has there been a report? Has anyone actually been able to measure how much day light is saved per year on this time-turning method? Is there a Daylight Savings Bank and Trust we can call for a balance? Are we living in a period of such increased scarcity that there is not enough day light during Standard or Ordinary Time to go around? How "Day Light Poor" is the U.S. really? Will this contribute to the predicted, upcoming Recession? Does anyone actually own the day light time?
If anyone has answers to these questions, please let everyone else know! So far, the guy who does the "Numbers" column in the Wall Street Journal hasn't a clue.
I guess you can tell I did not appreciate being jumped on before 5 am. in the name of confused Daylight Savings.

EXPLORE SOME NEWS

We have news of Pakistan's most unpopular leader assuming his full role as dictator again. Something he does best-- especially when he is afraid. This leopard did not change his spots by acting as if he would accept a democratic vote.
Will the Pakistani people demand their Constitutional Rights? Ms. Bhutto might be tucked into the country to be a thorn in Mushariff's spotted paw. Personally, I never trust wild cats since they are larger and meaner than my breed. They prowl and mate with noisey gusto on this mountain at night when me and Budd are safe in our beds.

And let us consider our own, most unpopular leader--what a distincton! George Bush, with a little over a year left in office, is still available to do whatever further damage he can to the U.S. Constitution as well as to the people and cats of Iraq, and the families and friends of our own troops in the war and, of course, the world in general. Anything is possible with President Bush who slips further into decline.
Personally, as a wise and educated Feline, I think all this talk of war with or against Iran is just blown up media talk. Would the Bush Regime actually attack the Iran Regime now that a "friend" Pakistan is blowing up in its face? Crazy idea, but so was invading Iraq.
Where does this bombing Iran come from? Media delusions and fear.
Editors and News Managers of the media (MSM) need to get better Typist/Controllers. Mine is very good and I would not let her go to help. Get your own. Get an army of Editorial Overseers who have some good sense and judgement of what is News and what is something else. Get a Mom to help.They are good at instant sorting of delusional thinking from truth as are most high school teachers. Hire some of those people as advisors to sort out news from rumors and gossip.
What I mean is that those media people responsible for deciding what is a NEWS story need to keep foremost in mind the distinction between NEWS and Rumor and speculation/opinion. I like the New York Daily News (not the entire paper, please!) for making this clear for its readers. The section boldly entitled, GOSSIP, is just that. Reading gossip about celebrities is a kind of mental relaxation and gives one a rest from the increasingly horrible reports of violence and rumors of war on the other side of the world.
If other newspapers sorted their stories in accurate piles, say, News and Breaking News (which means fish news not smelling after 12 hours, for heaven's sake), Sports and Sports Gossip, Living Arts and Entertainment and the Gossip connected to that growing section, Opinion and Editorials, possibly the largest pile set before an editor, etc. Then, what is known as the MSM which does not stand for "Mackerel Sardine Menu," might regain some respect it once had.
Anyway, what with interruptions and taking time for a good wash up, I seem to have used up 46 and a half minutes of saved daylight writing to you today.
I wonder if people ought to start measuring their day light savings account use as well as their carbon footprint/pawprint size?
And now it's time for some real work on a cool November day.
