Not Another Arkie Joke!
We don’t indulge in ethnic humor here. No Alsatian jokes, no Okie canards. No sly snickers about the Polish space program which planned to land men on the sun and, to avoid burning them up, would send them at night. Nope, you’ll never see that here.
And people from Arkansas? Sure it’s a red state, but those folks never stop thinking, even after the “Tilt” light comes on. So please, if you’ve already seen this, you have absolutely no right to snigger and snort for a second time.
A lady in Hot Springs sent a letter to the editor of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette noting the abnormally warm weather that had brought out the leaves and blossoms and bugs and snakes much earlier than usual.
No surprise, she said, to any reasonable person because, after all, Congress had started Daylight Saving Time a month early this year. “You would think,” she wrote, “that members of Congress would have considered the warming effect than an extra hour of daylight would have on our climate.”
Her conclusion: another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat.
No, lady, that’s not the real threat.
