WPSD TV's tryin' to scare the sleet outta me!

If McCain wins, will Matlock be appointed Attorney General?

Would WPSD fear mongerin' winter weather reports get even higher ratings if Jennifer Rukavina simplified things by simply going by J-Ru?

Speaking of WPSD's fear mongerin' winter weather reportin', has snow ever killed anyone in this viewing area? Why do they constantly beat us over the head with the brand name of their radar? As if I know weather or not there is a brand out there better than Doppler. Do you gauge weather or not you believe the veracity of their report based on the brand name of the radar they used to figger it out? "Well, I was gonna cancel that trip to Louisville cause I heard we was sposetuh get 8 inches of snow, but then I saw where that damned old meateeorolgoist that done figgered that up used a Cuisinart, and I said, pack yer bags ma, we's a goin'."

Is there any other profession than meterologist where you can be wrong so often and it not matter? I mean, do you ever hear of these guys losing their jobs? Who gives a damn if you call for snow and you only get freezing rain? Are you a hack if you bet the farm on hail and it turned out to be sleet? I mean, the roads are still slick either way, so how they got that way really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of thangs. All that matters is, immediately after having the absolute buh-Jesus scared out of you by J-Ru and her visions of a frosty ice and snow covered death, you run to your local super market and buy all the goddamn bread and milk that you can get your hands on.

I'm just sayin.......

Since Cal left, they've taken on FOUR extra meteorologists and still can't get it right. In the old days, it was just Cal and Blue Lew. What gives?

Well, you see... J-Ru got tired of having to work Saturday evenings all the time so she went to Cal and said she didn't want to do it. He said he was the lead meteorologist and that he had to do it plenty of times before he was the lead so she had to do it. She then went over his head to upper management. Next thing Cal knows, HE's being told that she didn't have to work Saturday evenings if she didn't want to.

Blue Lew and Cal were both getting lots of rubbin' the wrong way from WPSD management. Since ol' man Paxton died, the ethics/morals of WPSD has really gone downhill. J-Ru and her antics are proof of it. In a short period of time, she has gotten rid of two good meteorologists and positioned herself on top.

It would be nice to have that kind of power...I would control the weather. There is much to be said for hard work and passion for your profession.
