It’s been almost a week since Daylight Saving Time began. Why we do change our clocks twice a year? Polls have shown most American adults don’t like it. The Senate just easily passed a bill to stop the practice of changing our clocks, although if it actually becomes law, it would be up to the states whether to stay on Standard Time or switch to Daylight Saving Time year-round. 

Today, we’re sharing a bit about DST’s past. Here to break it down for us is the man who wrote the book on time, Dr. Mike O'Malley. He’s the author of “Keeping Watch: A History of American Time,” and he teaches history at George Mason University. O'Malley explains why the very idea of a man-made clock was controversial in the beginning, how it evolved into the practice of changing our clocks twice a year, and some pros and cons of it all.

Stan Evans helped build the conservative movement by founding the American Conservative Union, the Conservative Political Action Conference, and establishing the National Journalism Center. He was, in addition, a tremendous journalist and thinker. His book, "The Theme Is Freedom," should be a conservative classic, Steven Hayward observes in his new book, "M. Stanton Evans: Conservative Wit, Apostle of Freedom."

What also made Stan Evans so very unique was his tremendous humor which he used to undermine Progressive moralizing. Hayward notes that a standard liberal critique of America was to say that any country that can land a man on the moon, can enact x progressive policy. Evans's response was "any country that can land a man on the moon can abolish the income tax." Evans once said to the consternation of liberals at Princeton that "I didn't support Nixon until after Watergate. Look, after wage and price controls, Watergate was a breath of fresh air." They were not amused, but we can be and learn from this giant of conservative journalism and institution building.
