Global Warming Alert
Tropical storm Albert makes the news this morning.
By midday, Tropical Storm Alberto had maximum sustained wind near 45 mph, up 10 mph from the early morning, but it was not likely to grow into a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said.
This comes on the heels of on media observations that the hurricane season has begun and this one, due to the misguided policies of George Bush, is sure to be inordinately severe. Keep your scorecards handy. The media will be handicapping storms all the way through the summer.

Exactly. Oh, and by the way, the storm will bring lots of rain, which Florida needs to fend of wildfires, but don't confuse agenda drivers with the facts.

No offense guys, but the media reports what the public wants to read. The more fascinating the story, the greater the interest level. Why do you think murder, death and mayhem get so much on the nightly news? Because it keeps the moths near the flame.
Last year, one of the 3 biggest stories of the year was undoubtedly Hurrican Katrina and its subsequent impact on those who lve in the Gulf Coast area and the impact on energy prices. Ignoring related stories (i.e. more hurricanes this season) would not only be journailistic irresponisibility it would be a stupid business decision for the media corporations.
Oh right - it's the media's fault for reporting more bad news. I forgot, Fox only broadcasts rosey administration stories.

I've started to get all of my political news from the Weather Channel.

Bring on the global warming! I've lived up north a long time, I could do with a warm summer or two. I've heard so many wonderful stories about this warming trend - yet I still seem to see high temps in the 50's in June. This makes me despondent.
So, how does one go about lobbying FOR global warming? *grin*

Yeah, I'm ready for some global warming! This weather has been so awful I had to turn the heat back on. Summer must be at least a month late this year.
