I can imagine Bruce Willis and pals going with their crappy spaceship
on a suicide mission to alter the planet rotation so that America can
have an extra hour of daylight.

I can't quite figure out if that's satire, or the real thing.
If real, I find it genuinely puzzling that such a badly broken brain
can still construct full and intelligible sentences.

Since it is Arkansas we can rule out satire.
Hey, I live here and it doesn't surprise me. Closer to home in Rogers
Arkansas we have a school board considering using scam material from
the Discovery Institute in their public school classrooms. Not
intelligent design, they probably know what a scam that was, but the
new scam coming from the same guys that they know lied to them about
intelligent design for over a decade.

A little more info. The author (Connie M. Meskimen) appears to be
a genuine person (a lawyer of all things!) in Arkansas:

Although the gender is uncertain.
This blog *claims* someone called the paper and the
author and they did not see the "humor"
http://www.blog.thesietch.org/2007/04/17/daylight-savings-time-evil-plot-by-liberal-congress-to-cause-global-warming/
but I'd rate the reliability pretty low.

The on-line version of the "Arkansas Democrat Gazette" did not
have the "Letters" letter as far as I could find. Their search
engine sucks, so perhaps I missed it.

You found that intelligible? Then you're cleverer than me.
We all know it's all about lack of pirates. Ramen!

Wow! I can alter the temperature by changing the time on
my wind-up alarm clock. And all this time I thought
I did it by moving the thermostat and thus the mercury
switch on my central air control unit.

Sadly, Snopes has weighed in. Apparently Mr. (not Miss!) Meskimen
is well known for his satirical letters to the editor:

Darn! I really wanted this to be real.

Yes, we all have an overwhelming desire to believe in the stupidity of
our fellow man. It is the only way we can make sense of the world.
