Here's proof that congressman either think we are idiots, or they really are:
"Extending daylight-saving time makes sense, especially with skyrocketing energy costs," said Rep. Fred Upton (news, bio, voting record), R-Mich., who along with Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., co-sponsored the measure.

[...]

"The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," said Markey
Uh, congressman? Daylight saving time takes one hour away from the morning light and adds it too the evening. It doesn't create "more daylight." Personally, I prefer it getting dark later, but it seems to me that early risers will be getting up in the dark, so they will be using more energy, not less.
