Yes, the vaunted "Grinch" appears to be pushing the heat idea, of course global warming.
Truth is, absolutely no one who knows anything, has even floated that idea.
The little lib Gretchen is pushing the notion, and Fox is picking up on it.
This coverage is typical media hype and speculation made by fools who know nothing about bridges.
They have it set to music already!
I wonder if Shemp will be down by the bridge screaming at the gubmint tonight?
The structural engineer they have on now just shot that down. She said heat has less effect on steel and concrete than cold.
Hope you were watching F&F a few minutes ago. They actually had a REAL expert on bridges; a young lady that exuded knowledge (at least to me, she did)of bridges and their structure. She said that heat would not be a factor; in fact, just the opposite. Steel is much more likely to fail in colder temperatures. Following having this lady on, they then went to the governor, and he immediately went into a diatribe about state inspections,et.al. There you go. Wonder if they got out of their airconditioned/or heated state vehicle to perform said inspection.
I know I’m late to the party, I can’t post from work. I was reading your comments today re Gretchen & Kiran.
Gretchen, Republican although a moderate one from MN.
Quote from Kiran Chetry during the 2000 primaries:
“Oh John Edwards? I think he’s just dreamy!”
That’s the last time I ever gave any credibility to anything coming out of Ms. Chetry’s mouth. I don’t care so much she’s a lib but the fact that she’s such an airhead she’d vote for someone because they’re “dreamy”?
*gag*
