At higher latitudes there are going to be some sorts of issues, one way or the other - either in summer or in winter. Right now, in Washington State (45 to 49 degrees N), it starts to get light between 4 and 5 am. If we're on permanent standard time, that'll be happening between 3 and 4 am.

So Republicans are very leery of doing anything that might piss off the Cuban-American contingent.

Very Stable ones!

Man, now I'm *really* glad we ditched our landline earlier this millennium...

I wonder how long this completely artificial content split will last? On the one hand, they charge more because they can (weakly) pretend you're getting TWO channels rather than one... but, on the other hand, the high mucky-mucks always want to slap their own single brand all over everything.
