Rails - Jan 2006 - create() chopping off time zone

I''m doing:

item = Item.create(:added=>''Thu, 26 Jan 2006 21:18:59 GMT'',
...)

But it gets saved in the (PostgreSQL) database as:

2006-01-26 21:18:59-07

Looking at the log, Rails is inserting ''added'' as
''2006-01-26 21:18:59''.
How can I get it to preserve the time zone? If the original timestamp 
gets passed to PostgreSQL as is, it''ll handle the conversion.

thanks
csn

Workaround:
item = Item.create(:added=>Time.parse(''Thu, 26 Jan 2006 21:18:59 
GMT'').localtime, ...)
