Guess what?
It is August and it is hot. You would think this isn't news, because it is a self evident occurrence. It takes no skill at all to recognize that it is hot or cold. That is why God gave us senses. It is why muskrats that live by the river are swimming in the river. Yet, for some reason, every newscast from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon feels obliged to make this a story. The epitome of lazy journalism.
Mostly the news just points out all of the different ways people can die. If you die of heatstroke, you weren't that well off anyways. Does anyone watch the news to hear about the heat they went through all day? Can't anyone do the weather by now? I think so.
Many other bloggers write about this also. Why? Are they lying around the house trying to think of something to write about? Have all issues been resolved because it's too hot and no one is being controversial because of the heat? Email your friends your opinion of global warming, that will get the controversy swirling all over again.
Do you know in the spell check for this blog, bloggers isn't in there?
