IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR. Time to [try to] frighten everyone to death for every thunderstorm in the Atlantic basin for the next three months.

Finally 'journalism' has noticed what's been obvious for at least the last 10 years. Hurricane Erin is a case in point -- it's not expected to come ashore; only wind and rain as it passes by North Carolina later this week -- and the weather nannies are already in a panic.

Read the comments. My favorite (by far) is that of 'johnny b goode': "Less government will lead to an enormous improvement in the weather!"
