Daylight savings... aka Time Travel

It was bound to happen sooner or later. When will humans learn that we can't play with the forces of nature without consequence? Every year we time travel one hour forward in the Spring, and one hour back in the Fall. Well, we set our clocks back an hour last night, and this morning we found Virg had time traveled all the way back to the early 1930's. He was saying things like:

"The only thing that prohibition is helping is the growing black market for alcohol and the violent gangsters who profit from it."
"The whole reason we are in the this financial mess is because of the unfounded belief that the market could sustain the high stock prices of the 'Roaring Twenties'."
"Herbert Hoover wouldn't have won the presidency if the market crash would have hit just a few months earlier. Worst president ever!"

He's sooooo cute when he complains about the state of the world! They say history repeats itself, but this is ridiculous.
