the pope has died

The pope is dead. If you don't believe me you can check CNN. Anyway I'm not catholic, so it hasn't affected me so much that I would jump on a plane to Rome to get in line. Actually it hasn't touched me at all, but its made me realize that there are alot of catholics in the world. And the whole structure of "the men in charge" of the church still kinda wigs me out. Anyways the pope's death has done wonders for a good amount of Florida residents who were tired of hearing the latest and greatest on the Terry Schiavo case. Sad story, but I didn't see in necessary for new federal laws to be made for the case.

But adding to even more crazy news. Congress is looking to pass a bill on extending daylight savings time. Proof again that the power companies rule america. If they want to extend the daylight hours then shouldn't the power companies cough up the solar panels so we could use the extra daylight they want us to have to use less power from them. They say they want to pass this so we can save 10,000 barrells of oil a day. We could save a shitload more if they would take their restraints of solar power.
