… that letter about daylight savings time causing global warming was… not a fake, really, because it was in fact printed in that paper, but one of a number of satirical editorials written by an Arkansas lawyer with the kind of sense of humor I can appreciate. It’s still not clear if the newspaper in question ran the letter because they took it seriously, or because someone there found it funny enough that they couldn’t pass it up.
A friend who fled the Arkansas of his birth years ago had this to say about the issue: “Considering the audience, the paper should have printed a disclaimer.”
