Congress comes together to hate on Daylight Savings Time
Count Cockburn among the many skeptics of daylight savings time. One minute he's setting his alarm for his usual wakeup call of 1 p.m., the next he's being jolted out of a deep REM cycle at what should be the ungodly hour of noon. Thankfully Cockburn and the many other DST detesters out there have found a champion in Marco Rubio. The Florida senator recently introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make Daylight Savings Time permanent nationwide (right now only Arizona and Hawaii don't observe). That would mean no more setting back the clocks in November only to jump them ahead in March, no more of those sudden and surprising and sunny springtime evenings.
