Default 2006 Hurricane Season Over

Do I detect a little sarcasm here???? giggles Your a hoot, Gilligan
I call it the one/two slap in the face. The one slap is the forecast that's crap. The two slap
tells us why the first slap stunk. It tells it as if they knew why all along. Won't they ever just
come out and say they screwed up royally? Won't they ever admit they don't really know jack.
Don't hold your breath..... And, we're supposed to take them seriously when they talk about
global warming *climate* change. They can't predict accurately day to day, week to week,
month to month, year to year. That's a fact. So they actually expect us to believe them when
they try to predict like fifty years to a hundred years? Duh!
