Most Bizarre Government Policy Ever

Taking a break from more serious or titillating news, someone who is paid with Indiana tax dollars came up with a brilliant idea: No more clocks in the license branches.

Is this because of Gov. Mitch Daniels’ brilliantly executed plan to move Hoosiers to DST? Or was that EST? Or CST? I forget. If there aren’t clocks, we won’t know what time it is.

Or is this his way of tricking us into thinking that closing all our license branches across the state for budget cuts was no big deal? No clocks, that fewer batteries for the state to buy. Cut where cut can.

Or is this another version of the Las Vegas “no windows” policy to keep us from realizing how inefficient the branches are when it takesfour hours to renew your registration for another paltry year?

  1. Closing down all those “un-needed” branches and removing the clocks just means we won’t know how long we’ll have to wait in line at the ones left open. It’s not like we wear watches or anything….

  2. Nobody knows what time it is in Indiana, and thanks to the latest round of legislation, now even the people in Indiana don’t even know what fucking time it is. That’s why they’re removing the clocks: they’ll never be right, anyway!

    And what happens if Congress moves DST back to start in March? Is the law written such that Indiana starts DST in April, 2006? Because if so, things are even worse off, and before you know it, we’ll end up on Aleutian Time or something.

    Your Man Mitch really kicks some ass, huh?
