Bell's proposal has inspired me to push my state rep. to propose a bill that mandates that the Sun will henceforth rise each morning no later than 5:30 am (local time) and set each evening no earlier than 8:30 pm (local time) throughout the year. The bill would also include a "conscience clause" which would allow any office worker in the state to refuse to arrive at their place of employment any earlier than 11:00 am and to refuse to remain at said place of employment any later than 2:00 pm on days when the Sun is above the local horizon at those hours if doing otherwise violates the employee's sincerely held beliefs. Employers will be prohibited from taking any disciplinary action against or reducing the compensation of any employee who exercises this right.

I'm sorry to burst Cecil's bubble, but just moving the goalposts again isn't going to stop "them" from scoring.

He looks like half of the people I see each day and one-third of my relatives I've pledged never to see again.

Remember, Government intruding on your private life is bad, especially where it oversteps its bounds and causes harm, except for this one little Texassy thing, which is OK, and you can't ever change it, because CECILBALL REPLACED CALVINBALL FOREVER!

Man, you're a stupid fuck, Cecil. How much money does it cost for a fucking idiot like yourself to attempt to shit in the machinery of civilization, I wonder?

Someone should try to calculate just how many real dollars it costs society for these yokels to constantly try to unbend the arc of history. Then we just need a single-issue asstard Grover Norquist equivalent to endlessly rail against the Shitmuffin Tax.

Why, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones.

Can I discriminate against people who have a "sincerely held religious conviction" without being hypocritically told I am waging war on Christiansns?

Just one look at him helps me reaffirm my heterosexuality. But I suspect he creates lesbians wherever he roams.

Can I do that too? I henceforth declare that any Republican that pisses me off shall be pied in the face. Any Republican who goes to court to challenge that shall receive 2 pies in the face.
