OK Who is the Idiot on FOX News Right Now
His name is Joe Bastardi. His name fits him. He says that he is a meteorologist with Accuweather (sure doesn't sound like one) who says there is no such thing as Global Warming.

Can I scream at the TV now?

1. Turn it off or turn the channel.
I will NEVER tune into that station because (a) it makes me sick; and (b) I do NOT want to add to their ratings.

14. I know. I know.
I hate when people complain about what they see on Fox News.

I have only viewed Fox News in the microsecond it takes to channel surf through it, at least at home. There are some public places where it serves the function of George Orwell's telescreen.

28. Just Me, with all due respect, how do you imagine that ratings are
tabulated. Does your receiver also have a transmitter? I'm curious.

3. Accuweather is one of Rick Santorum's paymasters
They gave Rick a couple thousand bucks in campaign contributions, and now Rick is trying to privatize weather forecasting and basically do away with the National Weather Service.

7. Warning prolonged exposure to Faux News
will cause sterility and certain body parts to fall off. And in addition, development of Brain Cancer is likely.


That channel needs a warning label.

8. Wow, what a lifesaver DU is...
If it weren't for us, you'd be drawn into the vortex of lies and deception.

Keep repeating, "it's only a dream, it's only a dream"....

9. Did he really say that or some "well, Global Warming is overrated"...
type remark. Because Joe is VERY famous in weather forecasting circles and if he said "no such thing as Global Warming", he just shot his reputation to hell.

No Such Thing as Global Warming.

I have to admit I don't understand why anyone would willfully subject themselves to that crap.

16. Would it make you feel any better if you knew...
Both Joe and Jessica (his wife) are competitive "drug-free" bodybuilders. Joe's most recent competition placed him 6th in the Middleweight Division of the NPC Over 40 Nationals, and he will try to win the Over 45 "Drug Free" Nationals this October.

18. Only 2 Kinds of people are allowed on Fox
They are, conservatives, preferably neo-con Bush Kool-Aid drinkers like Hannity, and then there are liberals who really are conservatives or who get paid enough to shut their mouths so that the conservatives can win the argument.

25. He should check with these scientists
http://dieoff.org/page123.htm

I mean they're just Nobel prize winners. I realize that they can't possibly be as informed as the Fox "weatherman" but you know...the weatherman doesn't always get things right.
