Lawn Chair Quarterback: "Daylight Wasting Time Is Over"

Daylight Wasting Time is over! (Grover!) It's over until spring!
　
Daylight Saving Time is useless in these parts, considering we're already in the Eastern Time Zone despite being well to the west of Eastern Time's natural boundary. Look it up sometime: Cincinnati is 38 minutes off of Eastern Time's natural midpoint but only 22 minutes off of Central Time. So - for a majority of the year, when Daylight Wasting Time is in force - we're 98 minutes off from where we should be.
　
As you know, Daylight Wasting Time was extended in the mid-2000s by the Bush regime because the electric industry lobbied for it. It wastes more energy than it saves. If it saves us so much energy, why don't we have it in the months when we would seem to need it the most? Why do we have it in June but not December?
　
Daylight Saving Time might be a good thing for us (economically and otherwise) if we were moved into the Central Time Zone. But that hasn't happened, so we're (literally) singing the praises of returning to standard time for the winter...
