Hurricane Hyperbole/Muse Watch
Posted by Bill Short note: I lived in Florida for 25 years, and while I was fortunate enough to never suffer a devastating hit by a major hurricane, and last season was indeed unusually terrible, I'm also aware that the national media hypes whatever damage they can find after these storms. A reporter on CNN just giddily swooned with excitement (no, literally - swooned) over a twisted metal sign. There's something annoying and unsavory about that. But topping the unsavory list has to be Drudge, putting up an infrared image of the storm with the gleeful headline "HELL FROM THE SEA." Give us a break, bloodsucking tabloid dork. Appropriately sarcastic commentary here. In other news, the muse, she is a-fickle today, so busy yourself by checking out the Llamabutchers' exciting new site design. Surprisingly, Robert the Llamabutcher is depicted as Michael ... and we all know that he's more of a Fredo or Connie. Posted by Bill at July 11, 2005 07:07 AM | TrackBack (0) CommentsThe funny thing is, I was listening to Drudge's radio show last night (for reasons passing understanding), and he spent about an hour and a quarter bashing the Weather Channel for hurricane sensationalism, and another 30 minutes bashing Rehnquist sensationalism. What a clown. Posted by: j.d. Watching CNN's coverage last night was inspiration for this little joke: Q: What did Larry King say upon hearing that Anderson Cooper had floated away in the wake of Hurricane Dennis? A: I always thought that putz was an airhead. Posted by: Porkopolis And another thing: Drudge had Coulter on for an hour. I tell ya, the way she was giggling at Drudge's catty comments... He's rockin' that like a hurricane. Posted by: j.d. Look on the bright side... between the hurricane and the terror attacks in London, at least Fox managed to get off of Aruba for about five minutes or so. Posted by: Watcher Hmm, hurricanes, missing pretty white girls, shark attacks. Takes me all the way back to the summer of 2001. Now all we need is another large scale blackout. . . Posted by: rbj I decided to do a little (tongue-in-cheek) hurricane sensationalism of my own: :-D That being said, as a Florida resident, I have to admit that I'm sometimes a little sad when a big storm turns away at the last moment. I rather feel like a boxer who just won a fight because his opponent wasn't feeling good. Posted by: Mark J |
