I come across a fair amount of evidence of sheer, unbridled stupidity during my internet wanderings, and most of the time I just shake my head in astonished disgust and then move on. But this little gem was just too good/bad not to pass on. From an editorial in an Arkansas paper:
Yes, a conservative who actually believes man is the cause of global warming, but it’s not the fault of industry, autos, deforestation, or any of the usual suspects. No, it’s that damned “liberal congress” who, by moving daylight savings time forward a month (wait, wasn’t that “liberal congress” dominated by conservative republicans at the time?)… because by doing so, the writer argues, those liberals actually created more daylight.
[...] … 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. [...]
