Hyping the Weather



At what point in time did the weather become real news? Here in the Northeast every single snowstorm is reported like Armageddon itself. This isn't our first snowstorm in history people, remember last year when it snowed? Apparently the news stations do not and have to send out the reporters for "full coverage" of this strange frozen water falling from the sky!For hours on mornings like this the local news has the reporters standing outside with their "News Team" parkas on and saying journalistic gems like this:"Well Jim, it's still snowing outside and people are trying to shovel out their driveways. Just look at all this snow." then they will interview some yokel who add to the wisdom: "Yeah, well whatta ya gonna do, it's wintah." (done in a Boston accent) "Back to you Jim"And this kind of drivel goes on all morning and then continues during the other News times during the day. Something happened in the rest of the world? Forget about that it's snowing aaaaaaah!!! My family used to go fishing on George's Bank in weather worse than this, but Mayor Menino of Boston is telling people to stay home if you can. I'm not that old and yet I remember when New Englanders took the snow with grace and didn't let it interfere with life - you know, like they were used to it or something.

Don't they realize that many of these drugs, like Prozac act cumulatively - you build it up in your body - that's why it takes so long to get off some of these drugs. Also, what happens if you are already taking some of these drugs? Or even more dangerously, what if you are taking medications

US Spending Tops Half A Trillion Dollars

Well another year and another huge spending bill for the US Government - it's getting to the point where it does not matter what big number they pull out. With the Dollar dropping like a rock, it's all funny money anyway. $555 Billion! That's right Billion, with $70 Billion going straight to Iraq to build more state-of-the art police stations nobody uses. In the meantime our roads and bridges here in America look like we're the ones that have gone through a war. American manufacturing has gone the way of the US Steel industry and the gap between rich and poor is making Karl Marx say "I

do you really think people (from the North East) are so scared of it? I mean they live in the same place as you do and by now must know when to expect a snowstorm and what to do.
But I can imagine what is happening to people in the southern part. "OMG look at all this snow! it's a good thing we live here where it's nice and warm." And in the north "OMG look at those hurricanes, floods, fires etc. It's a good thing we live here
