Just 5 more minutes, mom..

[Cobalt-60]

How many of us have mumbled this phrase as we fought to remain asleep just a few more precious seconds before rejoining the world.
When the Republican speak of the war it's the same: "Just 18 more months war, mom".
And many of them just whine for the war to continue forever.
What is it that they like so much about the war?
Do they hate enlisted men enough to enjoy seeing them die?
Is it the Arabs demise providing their pleasure?
Is it their wish to eradicate our nation's hard earned reputation?
Or does it translate to " Just one more War Stock Quarterly Dividend" ?

What a joke!

2. Speaking of time....what time is DU on?

I am in the Eastern Standard time of USA. It is exactly 6:52 am which is earlier than this DU time of posting. This is perplexing to me. :)

4. Thanks but I am in Canada Eastern time zone which is

the same as USA time zone. Canada does have an Atlantic time zone which I am NOT in. There is no listing for Canada Atlantic in options. I thought I could change to USA Eastern but the options does not give me the choice to do this. How Come?

5. I found the USA Eastern time zone in options

I have changed my time preference. I would like to advise DU that Canada's Eastern time zone is the same as the USA Eastern time zone. Canada has another time zone not listed in options. This is Atlantic time zone for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland provinces. The listing in options would be confusing to Canadians.

Thanks,

6. Canada Atlantic is listed in options----

you need to scroll down the list. After the USA listings it reverts to alphabetic.

7. I'm North American Central Time

You must be in the North American Eastern Time Zone.
