Reasons To Watch The Weather Channel

Global warming is suddenly being taken very seriously, thanks to leaders of the Democratic majorities in Congress taken the initiative. Two California Democrats, Representative Henry Waxman and Senator Barbara Boxer, have already fired the first shots. Waxman is investigating an attempt by the White House to doctor science on global warming, while Boxer is cobbling together a bipartisan coalition of senators to craft legislation to deal with the problem that could sustain a presidential veto.
Oklahoma senator and former Senate Environment Committee chairman James Inhofe, a Republican and a staunch Bush supporter on the climate issue, dismisses this an attempt by businesses who could cash in on the hysteria over global warming - which he's called a hoax. (Bear in mind that Oklahoma celebrates its statehood centennial this year, and white civilization existed there for only eighteen years before 1907. It's hardly the most sophisticated state in the Union.) So, what businesses would suffer if Inhofe could convince enough folks that's he's right about climate change? How about The Weather Channel? Inhofe told the Fascist News Channel that if global warming were proven once and for all to be a hoax, as he believes it is, The Weather Channel's alarmist documentaries would lose viewers and the channel itself would lose ratings because there'd be no reason to watch it.
Actually, Senator, there would still be several reasons to watch it, among them the local forecast, but also this reason:
Hey, Senator, I'm so sweet on Vivian Brown, I belong to a Yahoo fan club group devoted to her and her alone! And let's admit it, Senator, you tune in to the Weather Channel just to sneak a peek at Kristina Abernathy!
One other reason I tune in to The Weather Channel, Senator, is because Vivian Brown, Kristina Abernathy, and every other on-air personality on that channel, male or female, forgot more about meteorology than you'll ever know!
