Thanks to the Examiner.com!
We here at USDemocrazy are cold. I mean, it’s really, really cold here, with the snowdrifts eight feet high during the Snowmageddon. It’s so cold that our brains are a little frozen… But not as frozen as Fox News’, apparently.
Fox made a little boo boo with several statements about the lack of global warming due to the recent winter storms all along the East coast.
In fact, Eric Bolling, host of Your World on Fox News, repeatedly showed “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore’s book about global warming. He buried the book in the snow, talking about how, because of the snow, global warming cannot be true.
At the end of the section, Bolling interviewed a global warming skeptic, Phelim McAleer, who was dressed in just a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals, while standing in the snow. McAleer stated,
“It’s nonsense that carbon dioxide is dangerous.”
Stephen Colbert, expert newscaster (or hilarious comedian), disagreed with this “scientific” report.

Stephen Colbert stated, sparring against Fox News’ latest comments,
“According to my Dopplest 9000, it is dark outside. Now based on this latest data, we can only assume that the sun has been destroyed. The world has been plunged into total darkness…”
It’s a wacky day for news… Probably due to all the cabin fever Mid-Atlantic residents are suffering from… (Snowpocalpyse 2.0!)
We’ve all heard the Sarah Palin 2012 rumors, so now see how they might be materializing!
More rumors coming out of New York state, where Governor Paterson is under fire due to claims in a New York Times article that hasn’t come out yet!
The only way I’m not going to be governor next year is at the ballot box, and the only way I’m leaving before that is in a box,” Paterson said.
Could we see a Justice Clinton on the Supreme Court? The Daily Beast thinks stranger things have happened…
We at USDemocrazy are victims. Victims of the SNOWPOCALYPSE, that is.
If you live in the mid-Atlantic region, you know what we’re talking about. If you live in the northern mid-west, you’re probably thinking, “Um, OK.”
And since we are snowed in and absolutely bored out of our minds, we became unnaturally obsessed with snow stories and videos, which we’re sharing here. If you think it’s going to be boring, you’re clearly unfamiliar with how awesome blizzards are.
Snow can make people act crazy. But no one can act crazier than meteorologists, as evidenced by the video above, featuring a seemingly maniacal weatherman flipping out over the most recent mid-Atlantic blizzard. It’s awesome.
What’s also awesome is thundersnow. Haven’t heard of it? Well, the concept is simple: imagine a thunderstorm, subtract the rain, and add a whole lot of snow. And there you have it. They’re pretty rare, so meteorologists get worked up over thundersnow storms as well. For instance, Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel:
And Mr. Cantore isn’t the only one enraptured by this meteorological anomaly:
