   I think the name change is a blatant political agenda. If I am worried about my BBQ tomorrow, I want to check the weather, not the climate.

   Now I know this post is fiction – it’s impossible to animate Al Gore.

   There is no name change involved.

   I just hope they keep main operations in north Atlanta. I know a lot of people from school who have gone on to work there.

   Oh.

   Damn you Dan, for exposing my gullibility!

   I sent my wife — a meteorologist/hydrologist for the National Weather Service — a link to a story about this sale, with the subject line: “the end of TWC (for all intents and purposes)?”

   In my house, it may very well be.

   Why would it be the end of TWC?

   NBC already has WeatherPlus in the cities where they have owned and operated stations. Like Dallas, for instance. It is a competing cable weather network. One or the other is probably going to go away, be absorbed, or some such. There’s no need for the redundancy.

   Hey aren’t those the same people that sign Olbermann’s paycheck? Yay! Worst thinger of the week this week is the Sun! Stupid warmy sun with its evil warmy death rays. Thanks Keith and now for a look at our CO2 levels across the nation.

   Speaking of gullible, how about those people that characterize climate change as a “crisis”, rather than “expected”?

   And if I may vent a bit, Isn’t it weird that what once was called “an act of God” is now called “A consequence of man-made Global climate change?

   Also (drifting dangerously off-topic), isn’t it odd how California, a week after Arnold declared the state economy would explode from becoming a gay-marriage tourist Mecca, was on fire and choking SanFran, from 800 lightning strikes*, shutting down tourism?

   Damn man made climate change!

   *I’m not making divine retribution claims, just stating the facts.

    The Weather Channel is worth $3.5 billion? Damn this useless dollar!

    I’m not sure even Pixar could animate Big Wooden Al.

    Note the “for all intents and purposes” qualifier. Kind of like the way NBC went away, for all intens and purposes, when the Huntley-Brinkley Report was replaced with John ChancellOR.

    Welp. so much for reliable weather info.

    Not like TWC was particularly reliable before, but with NBC in charge, I can see it going from weather laced with propaganda to propaganda laced with weather.
