Laugh at Liberals

THE POLITICS OF WEATHER: How The Weather Channel Turned Forecasting Into Bush-Bashing!

I guess I should have realized it was going to happen back when liberals started blaming hurricanes on Bush foreign policy. Then when Katrina hit and the failure of a Democrat govenor and Democrat Mayor to mange the aftermath of the disaster morphed into another failed Bush policy, I should have seen it coming.

Last night, it hit me right between the eyes.

I was watching the Weather Channel for the “local on the eights” forecast. I should have changed channels before they got back into programming but the I didn’t. I got sucked right into another installment of their ongoing series, “When Weather Changed History.” Guess what I learned? I learned that Republican Herbert Hoover drove blacks away from the Republican Party after he failed to follow through on numerous promises made to black America during his campaign. This is one way that weather changed history. Oh yeah, he also ordered levee’s on the Mississippi River to be blown up, causing the flooding of poor, black parrishes north of New Orleans in order to save his rich white friends in the city. Another astounding example of weather altering the course of history! Wait there’s more! Hoover ordered those levees to be blown up with complete disregard for deaths of black American’s that would most assuredly follow…and here’s the most important thing I learned…this whole Republican conspiracy against blacks back in the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 is exactly what happened with Bush and Katrina.

Did you notice how I slipped that part in there about a flood? See, I told you this was about how weather changed history.

Why doesn’t the Weather Channel just change the name of the show? “How Republicans Use Weather to Kill Black People.” Yeah, that’s got a nice ring to it….and it’s timely too, what with the election and all happening right now. Maybe this one. “Storm Stories: Bush Lied, Crops Died!” How about just have random liberal rants 6 times an hour and call it “Crazies On The Eights.” Why hold back?

What happened to the Weather Channel? Is Dr. Heidi Cullen really a mad scientist who has replaced the brains of everyone working there? You remember her. She’s the gal that suggested any meteorologist who didn’t believe in global warming, excuse me climate change, any one of them who dared to have a differing opinion should be stripped of their American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. Check out this quote from her weather.com blog.

” Meteorologists are among the few people trained in the sciences who are permitted regular access to our living rooms. And in that sense, they owe it to their audience to distinguish between solid, peer-reviewed science and junk political controversy. “

That’s what SHE said about scientist who DISAGREE with Al Gore’s version of climate change. You can’t make this stuff up. Here’s more.

If a meteorologist can’t speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn’t give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn’t agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns. It’s like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It’s not a political statement…it’s just an incorrect statement.”

Here’s the clincher.

“I agree with every meteorologist who says the topic of global warming has gotten too political. But that’s why talking about the science is so important!”

Remember that line the next time you’re watching “When Weather Changed History.”
