Damn It's Hot In The Summertime
I've about had it up to here (I'm holding a hand over the top of my head) with the pissing and moaning about how hot it is. It's unbearable! The world is coming to an end! ETC. and so on.
I seem to recall a time (the 1980's) where it was over 100 degrees for many many days in a row...and somehow we survived and the polar icecaps remained in place.
A quick INTERNET (you know that thing Al Gore invented) search yield the following info:
The record in Texas for the most 100 degree days in a summer was 82 in the city of Corsicana in 1954. The next closest is 69 by DFW in 1980. Coming in third is Waco (in 1980, YEA!) and Mineral Wells (in 1956)
All time high temperatures 118 in McKinney in 1936 followed by 115, Paris also in that blistering summer of 1936. Mineral Wells had 114 in 1980.
So what am I getting at? It's hot in the summertime and it always has been. In the 80's it really wasn't big news because Al Gore was badgering "Twisted Sister" about the nasty lyrics in their songs instead of making lame documentaries based on junk science. In the 30's people were too worried about the Great Depression and where their next meal was coming from to get too worked up about the heat.
To top it all off, the President is on vacation at the ranch in Crawford and the pussy press is already bitching about the heat and other things. Last year I noted the "comic" stylings of Fox News' James Rosen in my post entitled James Rosen, Comedian?!? where he whines, bitches and cries about how Central Texas isn't like Washington DC. With reporting acumen like that it's no wonder he's the go to guy at FOX for chasing the Secretary of State all over the planet. Thanks Master of the Obvious. I salivate at the thought of all the insightful commentary I have to look forward to as this years reporting twits bloviate about Texas weather and the "quaint" (read backward) community that the President chooses to call home.
Maybe its the heat that makes them that stupid...another thing caused by global warming.
