Lol! Say what they will about the change in venue for the Obama speech, but they are about as transparant as a sheet of Saran wrap.
20 percent chance of rain
80 percent chance of not filling those seats!
Clue me in. What does an August 28 forecast (2008) have to do with tomorrow’s temp in Charlotte? What am I not getting? (aside from an excuse for changing the acceptance place because of not filling the stadium)
Article dated August 25, 2008. Why are we posting this now?
Shep, the Fox “weather machine” and some ditzy guest Shep has on are having an empty chair lovefest. Shep is going on about how bad the weather there has been, the guest is commnting there is a lot of BS from both parties and the weather machine is saying it’s a smart move to bring the event indoors. She claims there is a chance of rain during the day and a slight chance by 9pm.
Paraphrasing: Even if there is no lightning we don’t want a chance of a stadium full of wet people.
I’d tell Shep to pound salt up his *** but he’d probably enjoy that.
Katrina folks were bussed from Houston to New Orleans to vote for Nagin. obama should call him and tell him to get those buses he left out in the rain over to the Carolinas.
Forecast probabilities affecting Obama’s speech:
Thunderstorms - 3%
Rain - 10%
Wrath of God - Unacceptably high
