I actually must go by political local times, not UT. So although I'd
love to write that ONE line of code, it's not what they have asked of
me. I am sure I am going to have to use a table for all the different
political boundaries. I guess I was just hoping that the solution was
small enough I could avoid it.

How about if you turned the actual meanderings of the perimeter of each time zone into a closed object. Then maybe you could determine which object each lat/long position is in.
