Who says there aren't moron libs at Fox News. This paragraph says it all...

A more serious problem is that the National Weather Service gives away its services for free. In 2004, the National Weather Service began shelving a 1991 policy that had barred the weather agency from offering services that private industry could provide. The Weather Service also now offers much of its data on the internet for free. With an $882 million budget for 2007, the National Weather Service is certainly not free...

Uh.... our TAXES pay for this service, MORON!!! Perhaps they're not the best, but to give credit where credit is due, they were quite accurate predicting the path of Dean. I'm surprised they do all that they do on only $882 million. That's a bargain, IMHO...

What a laugh. Someone is actually complaining that the government is giving something away for free? That's a "problem"?
