Good morning everybody! We’re back! I took a little time off to finish a project. It’s done and off my proverbial plate so I’m back to deliver the drivel all of you long for…yeah, right. I know February was a trying month with events that spanned the range from the tragic to the ludicrous. Rising above it all, as we do every year about this time, is the nonsense from that bunch of demented hillbilly morons who make up the Oklahoma Legislature. Yep, we’re in full swing down on Lincoln Blvd, again. With lawmakers positively giddy now that they’ve finished up the non-work of the last session in a second special session. The work of Oklahoma’s greatest welfare society continues without the perverts, pedophilic dope fiends, and sundry reprobates…or, at least, without the ones that got caught…of a new legislative session. Yea, Oklahoma! Eh, not so much. It already appears that this state, that sits dead last in the nation in so many categories, will have a $167 million deficit before budget negotiations get underway. Yea, Oklahoma! About a year ago, CCB posted the tale of State Senator Joseph Silk (R-Broken Arrow). At the time, we, at CCB, said, “…a guy named Joseph Silk…sounds like the name of a cheap hood from Queens…knowhutimean.” We even started calling him Joey Pajamas (his cheap hood name) – Joey PJs to his family and close associates. At the time, Joey Pajamas (we aren’t friends) was trying to ram a bill through the Senate that would allow Oklahoma to secede from the United States. We pointed out at the time, that Oklahoma was number seven in line for receiving $$ payouts from the Federal government and that this was equivalent of biting the hand that feeds the moron. We even quoted Joey Pajamas at the time, who said, while obviously trying to some damage control, “I don’t think Oklahoma needs to secede. I don’t think anyone needs to secede right now. However…you know…30-40 years from now…whenever…you know…my kids are having families what if the United States comes and turns into a…you know…communist country?” You know? Many of JP’s colleagues at the time, pointed out that the bill was a supreme waste of time and JP felt he had to defend his bill which (fortunately) died in committee. Fuhgitaboutit. So, anyway, Joey Pajamas is back. This time with a bill that would abolish Daylight Savings Time. He was quoted in the Tulsa World, the world’s stingiest fish wrap, as saying, “It was initially designed to save energy, but it you know it doesn’t save energy at all anymore just because you know everyone’s got an air conditioner and the whole you know economy has changed.” Okay, that’s not the real original reason for DST, but what the heck, Joey’s on a roll. He goes on to point out that it causes a bad effect on people whose sleep patterns are irretrievably changed rolling their clocks one direction or the other twice a year. Speaking as someone who doesn’t sleep much anyway, who care? In fact, I was going to start swinging at Joey Pajamas over his latest dilly (dilly dilly) of a legislative proposal. I was going to mention that a legislature that can’t find a way to pay teachers a livable wage has no business regulating time for the rest of us. I was going to point out that our television watching would become irretrievably screwed up. The local stations would have to adjust to meet network scheduling set with the rest of the country…Tornado Pain in the Ass would be on at 4:15PM now. The radio controlled wall clock here in The Compound Command Center (adjusts itself as necessary according to U.S. Naval Observatory time in DC) that automatically corrects itself with the twice yearly time changes would go into meltdown. There’s no setting on the back of the clock for Oklahoma Time. Our computers and other electronic devices that automatically adjust their time stamps wouldn’t know what to do. IT WOULD BE ANOTHER Y2K DEBACLE…we’re all going to die! Everything would be in chaos. But then, I thought, hmmm…this may not be so bad after all. And do you know why? Because I’m lazy. Yep. For instance, the clock radio in my vehicle has to be manually adjusted. I never do that. I always wait until spring when it’s back to the correct time. I hate wandering through the house twice yearly changing all the frigging clocks. Joey Pajamas is on to something this time. You go, Joey Pajamas, you go! That is all! Comments are closed.
