While conservatives usually love a good snowstorm because it proves global warming is a hoax and Al Gore is fat, truth-seeking climatologist Rush Limbaugh is too smart to buy into the lies of such lefty media outlets as AccuWeather and the National Weather Service.
By Rush's logic, Hurricane Floyd (1999) did hardly any damage because it landed as a Category 2 hurricane. The 65 people who died will be very happy to hear this.
People living in Vermont and Upstate New York will be relieved to know that Irene was, technically speaking, not a hurricane. They will take comfort in that fact while they remember, in scenes that seemed to come straight out of a disaster movie, desperately trying to evacuate in the torrential rain, only to watch as their house, their street, their entire neighborhood and the road that they were trying to flee on suddenly breaking away and being swept down into and disappearing in the raging maelstrom that was once the little brook that meandered through their town.
Just look out your window. If you <strike>don&#039;t see a tornado in</strike> can still see your backyard then you have nothing to worry about.
I&#039;m not an asshole, man, but I actually do trust the considered judgment of notable assholes to let me know what is truly assholey. Thanks, Rush, for all you do!

The study involved shutting off all 433 ramp meters in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for eight weeks to test their effectiveness. The study was conducted by Cambridge Systematics and concluded that when the ramp meters were turned off freeway capacity decreased by 9%, travel times increased by 22%, freeway speeds dropped by 7% and crashes increased by 26%.</blockquote>
Yes, <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dick_Day" target="_blank">Dick Day</a> is his real name. And he is a Republican. No, he is no longer in the legislature. He is now a lobbyist to have slot machines allowed at race tracks. That is a job. Really.
<em>&quot;The assumption that we don&rsquo;t know what&rsquo;s best for us. That we have to be told don&rsquo;t drive when the roads are slick.&quot;</em>
Yeah, you do need to be told. Because people are idiots, and they always think the way they drive is perfectly safe, or that &quot;I have 4WD so I&#039;m okay&quot; or &quot;they sanded the road, so it&#039;ll be fine&quot;.
Why is he waiting?

I like this.
What are ramp meters?
As well as being in a vehicle with a high center of gravity, such as an SUV.

&quot;...we are idiots...&quot;
Your words, Rush.

Once again, Rush fools in.
Every time you care what Rush Limpballs says, God smites a kitten.
Rush, you&#039;re slipping. Not a word about how Global <i>Warming</i> should have melted all that snow before it landed!

They gave up water when Michelle suggested it was good to hydrate as part of exercising. They gave up exercising too.
