1. The weather 'event'
or the Chicago radio station?

Either way, why would "news" people be doing this? :shrug:

3. I think it had something to do with how wind was spreading fires in Texas
As though listening to wind over a fucking tv will give an impression as to how windy it is.

But I shit you not, they said "let's listen in..." and then listened to the fucking wind.

2. Was it newsworthy wind?
Was it situational enough for the "situation room?" Did it make Wolf Blitzer hard enough to qualify as "hard news?"

7. I missed the exact point at which CNN decided to become a parody of itself
But now I realize it's the Onion of cable news.

10. Lots of wind here in eastern Oregon, too.
Dismal grey skies, some snow blowing about as if it can't decide where to land, a chill in the air that could slice paper.

Oh, what a New Year's Day to have the blues.
