The dangerous thing is that the next time there's similar weather, the public won't believe a crying-wolf enemedia even if there IS a horrible danger approaching.

TV news, whether it's weather, politics, international affairs, sports shenanigans, law enforcement, whatever, is now all high drama, theater and play-acting by glib TV "stars" in the relentless chase for ratings and advertising dollars.

Ha! Just wait until Al Bore, diCaprio and Clooney get going on it - we will all surely die if we don't make them billioaires! :^D

Actually - regarding Hurr. Matthew - I think many prayers, including mine, were answered o'nite. For us inland we were blessed by a slight jog of the storm eastward and a slight loss of strength... we went from potential 80mph winds down to about 40. Still rough for those on the coast, tho!

We are giving Matthew another chance tho: It is predicted it will make a big Atlantic loop and return to us next week. That has to be a Democrap thing: give 'em 'nother chance! ;^)
