People who have way too much time on their hands.

I'm sure that by now, most of you have heard about this list. I'm also quite certain that hits being generated to this list are from people who cannot believe such a list exists, and therefore they must check it out themselves. (I am one of those people.)

So not only is George Michael gay, he's also a - GASP AND SWOON - Texan! I'm not sure what Jared Leto's band is doing on the list (nor Bright Eyes or the ladies' man Barry Manilow either, for that matter), but I can already see Kathy Griffin using the fact that Clay Aiken made the list in her next act.

Not surprisingly, the "safe band" list is much smaller. Also not surprisingly, I have heard of none of the bands/musical acts save one - Ms. Cyndi Lauper, who once promoted "girls having fun" in various ways, oh and also she performed in the last season of Queer as Folk. And isn't it ironic.

I also learned today that in 2005, Congress and the President approved a bill to extend Daylight Saving Time by two months in an effort to save energy. This goes into effect this year. "The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete."

Because, yunno, heaven forbid we enforce other environmental regulations that would save more energy than this.

Now taking bets on the amount of money the "report" and subsequent Congress deliberations will cost, and how much farther the polar icecaps will melt off while our fine representatives debate the merits of one more hour of sunlight each day for one month a year.
