blacklisted: weather forecasters


I'll start by saying that I live in Chicago, and grasp the concept of global warming.

I also understand that winters, as a whole, thoroughly blow.

That being said, weathermen (weatherpeople?!?) are officially blacklisted in my book.

It's 2008, people. The internet (oooo! CYBER-web!), radar, satellite tracking, The Farmer's Almanac, Indian medicine men, voodoo, God knows what else, and we can't get an accurate fucking forecast past 4 fucking hours. I've had it.

If I hear "lake effect" one more time after yet another BLOWN forecast as the reason . . .

Name one other job where you can by wrong 60% of the time and keep it.

Ok, the U.S. Presidency. . . name one other!

For Christ's sweet sake, somebody figure it out.

Stay classy, Chicago.
