Noticed last night how all the weather forecasters were behaving similarly. Maybe not with the voice cadences but with the fear factor. wonder if they think people aren't paying attention.
would like to see this guy do a forecast on the economy using Nouriel's models, would go viral on the internets.

Waiting for the guys/gals on the financial channels to start behaving like this. How long before they begin imploding on air?
Just watched a little of Cavuto on Buisiness while eating lunch. The communist-D pumped out that same old chestnut about the problems being caused by lax regulatory oversite for the past 8 years.
Noty a single damn one of the supposed Rethugs refuted it. This reminds me why I quit watching this show. Fox is firmly in place on the dark side.

What is ironic is that Cavuto did a one hour special about the causes of the meltdown where he touched on most of the issues and their causes. He even showed those clips of butthurt refuting the danger to fanny and freddie.
As the elkection became a foregone conclusion even he shut up and Fox became a patsy for Obama.
(Cavuto not on the show today)

Admit it. I'm right. That two feet of white stuff outside the door is just proof how *sniff* mankind *stiffles cough* has *chokes up* ruined this planet.
You should have heard what the idiots on the Weather Channel had to say about it. Thye are still pushing the watermellon crap as hard as they can push.

Up here in friendly Manitoba that forecast would be a pleasent break from -40 degree temps with a 40 mph wind.
reminds me of a recent joke:
Do you know the average boob weighs 2.1 pounds?
Do you know what the average pussy weighs?
Step on the scale and let me know.

Any New Englanders remember when Dick "Dickie" Albert was a "huge" (local) celebrity? I know he stuck around in weather forecasting forever, but for a while there he seemed more popular than Bird. I always liked that guy.

Look, Obama sees every industry in the country as a sporting goods store his mob can bust out, to paraphrase a certain curmudgeon from SF. He turned the car industry into his personal slush fund to reward his union thug backers, and now he's turning the banks into his personal slush fund to buy every moocher and looter and crimmigrant a new house right next to yours.
Good fucking deal, 52%.

I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the Northeast like a main circuit cable plugged straight into Cantore. It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Jim Cantore's memory any more than being back in Baltimore in a raging blizzard was an accident. There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine.
How many people had I already killed with getting forecasts wrong? There were those six that I knew about for sure. Close enough to blow their last frosty breath in my face. But this time, it was an American and an meteorologist. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with getting weather forecasts wrong in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?

Just keep in mind there is no such thing as "taxing a bank" or any other organization. When they lay a tax on the bank the customers pay the tax.
IOW it is a tax on the so called middle class and above. The only people who don't pay it are the moochers that vote for Obama. Of course, if the bank raises the fees for cashing welfare checks maybe even they will get to pay some taxes.

I am snowed in. Cannot open the front or back door. Though I can go out through the garage, I am sure when I open it two feet of snow will come in.
Besides, not much reason to go out, not like anything is open. That is why I am inside writing a post on why I do not trust consumer reports .
I guess I could go out, shoot a few pics, do a weather thing. Not that its been overdone or anything.. lol.. hope everyone is having a great day. Keep your powder dry :-)

To some of the posters there this (along with the 1996, 2003, and last Dec's storm) are evidence of global warming.
It truly is a religion. Thus dipshits in warmening costumes freezing their @#$%ing asses off in Copenhagen and not even batting an eye. Everything is warming from shittons of snow to blizzards to rain to record lows and earthquakes. All signs that we must regress back to the stone age. Asshats.
