 As per my thread here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/109638, we
 Americans changed our clocks a month early due to a new government
 regulation.  Consequently, our GMT offsets are off; EST is now GMT -4 (not
 GMT -5 as previously), CST is GMT -5 (not GMT -6 as previously), etc.

 This poses a problem with the following in General Options, where it says:
 Times in the weblog should differ by: X hours (Your timezone offset, for
 example -6 for Central Time.)

 -6 is not accurate anymore and won't be until the clocks are changed in
 Greenwich.
