Lunchtime Poll: Hurricane Redux
Rolling Stone – Mar 7, 2007
Well-crafted song but complete bullshit. ”George Jackson” could be the #2 choice with the same instructions. I often wonder if all of Bob’s truly humilitating episodes of social whinning like the above come from genuinely goodthough uniformedintentions or if he is as shamefully patronizing as he seems to be.

Early predictions for hurricane season
WBBH – Mar 7, 2007
The first forecast was made by the Dr. William Gray and William Klotzbach on December 8 2006. The seasonal average is a 31%… There are indications that this season will not be influenced by El Nino. ver the past several weeks the El Nino effect has weakened. Should this continue to be the case during hurricane season 2007 it is possible that the upper-level winds would be more favorable for hurricane development this year compared to last year. It’s important to remember that long-range forecasts are not always accurate and predictions for another active year may or may not come true.
