i'll drink to the talking out of their dark side :o)
if it's a newscaster then it's all garbage anywho . . all they look for is
hype. like the weather guy who reports that the weather is going to be mild
with a possible shower later in the day that could turn to sleet or even a
mild chance of snow and with the winds alot there could even be a
thunderstorm with hail and of course with any bad thunderstorm there could
be the chance of a tornado. hmmmmm, wonder why he didn't mention a
hurricane? but then, we're 300 miles from the coast and he's safe i guess
:o)
