The Islamofascist Weather Channel

I've had a pretty good case of the ass with the Weather Channel for some time now.
My problem is that it's no longer content to merely provide national and regional forecasts, which it gets right more often than not, and is pushing more canned content like Greatest Chihuahua Rescues and live programming that consists of two or three perky meteorologists sitting around a coffee table chatting amiably about what it's like to be trapped in an avalanche.
But I now find myself forced to come to the defense of the WC. This is because of Melanie Morgan, a radio talk shop crumpet and right-wingnut commentator over at WorldNetDaily who apparently shops at the same clothes store as do the WC babes (J.C. Penney's would be my guess). La Morgan has it in for the WC because it is shamelessly promoting the cannard that global warming is real (!!!).
I don't know about you, but I've been very slow on the global warming uptick. I'm a weather wonk (who shops at the local Levi's outlet store) and well understand that a few years of warmer weather does not a global crisis make.

But with the exception of La Morgan, George Bush and a handful of other people, it has become impossible to ignore the fact that something very bad is happening to the planet that has nothing to do with cow farts, and if we don't start acting boldy and cut greenhouse emissions, Iowa will have beachfront property sooner than later.

but what if the cows all fart at the same time? Nice post, but you know, I'm one of those people that chuckles at Gore's doom and gloom movie, and the very idea of what is being reported as being global warming. Cycles. The planet is going through cycles. Did we bring it on sooner? Perhaps. But the changes are inevitable.
