Hitchens: How I Hate to Love Thee

It's a little muffled there at the end, but this line kills:

A Mook on FOX on the idiot box

Is it a Rupert Murdoch mandate that every man, woman, or child who works for FOX - whether on FauxNews or on an affiliate - be a simpering idiot? Our local FOX station was tuned in this morning in the locker room and Rick D'Amico - who has lived in Phoenix for 20 years, remember this detail, it's important - began chattering about computers and cell phones having problems this weekend.

As y'all should know, Congress moved up the start of Daylight Saving Time to this coming weekend. A quick check of the wiki tells me that the change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (I'm too lazy this morning to check the GPO for the law, sorry), so any calendering/date math software on computers or devices that was written prior to the law (or after the law but in ignorance of its effects) will not process dates correctly - (here's another one of the details) in those parts of the country that follow DST.

Rick's worried about this. He went to some websites with instructions on patching his devices, but it was all so confusing. Cute blonde co-anchor (is there any other kind?) doesn't understand why the computers won't just get there times from...somewhere. I finally changed the channel.

Friday morning pop quiz:

1. Where does Rick D'Amico live?
2. How long has Rick D'Amico lived in his current state?
3. What US state does not change its clocks for DST? hint: look at this map
