Reader poll: Throw the bum out?

Speaking of the Chicago Tribune, they’ve published a declaration of all the reasons Gov. Rod Blagojevich should be thrown out of office. In conjunction, they’re also gathering comments from readers (until 2 p.m. today) on whether the state constitution should be amended in 2008 to allow us to recall the governor before his term is up in 2010.

What do you think? Should we pass the necessary legislation to allow us to recall Blago and get him out of office as soon as possible?

Did anyone fall back early?

Daylight Saving Time graphicThis year, the federal government changed the date that we set our clocks back an hour. It’s usually the last Sunday in October, but this year it’s the first Sunday in November. Did anyone set back their clocks Sunday morning/Saturday night out of habit? Or did your electronic clocks set themselves back?

I noticed that WEEK-TV’s bug was an hour off during the 10:00 news Sunday night. And the Chicago Tribune reports that some Sony clocks and T-Mobile Blackberry devices automatically set their clocks back early.

The Summers household, however, does not have any such fancy gadgets. Other than the laptop, we have to reset all of our clocks manually for Daylight Saving Time. I’m looking forward to the extra hour of sleep this coming Saturday.
