John C. Dvorak (0:32)

Oh, have we now? You mean the everyone who's a Democrat or just the. The representatives who are Democrats? I mean people who. There can be people who are misguided and. And vote Democrat, but they may not be total lunatics.

Adam Curry (0:48)

And your point?

John C. Dvorak (0:52)

Yeah. How was that extra hour of sleep for you?

Adam Curry (0:56)

I didn't take it.

John C. Dvorak (0:58)

What do you mean you didn't take it?

Adam Curry (1:01)

I didn't take it. I got up at the right. I got up with the same cycle left the clock I do going this way, I leave everything the same and I get up at the time allotted that was original. And then I turn the clocks back and say, oh my God, I'm up an hour early.

John C. Dvorak (1:18)

It's interesting how you were still grumpy though.

Adam Curry (1:24)

Be happy.

John C. Dvorak (1:25)

I know, okay. I know why you're grumpy. Better I know where you're going.

Adam Curry (1:32)

So in the other way, when it goes the other way, I set the clocks the night before so I can kind of gear myself up for the fact I'm gonna lose an hour.

John C. Dvorak (1:42)

Well, as always, there's a report on what the elites are doing to kill us this time. Most Americans are not in favor of daylight saving time. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is among groups urging lawmakers to eliminate seasonal time changes and enact permanent standard time.

Reporter/News Anchor (1:58)

On permanent standard time, we have more light in the and we know that morning light is best for our mood and for our health. The second reason is that darkness in the morning actually has some safety risks. The third reason is because the alignment of the rising and setting of the sun is more consistent with our internal clock. People sleep better.
