Liar, liar, pantyhose on fire

The weather forecasters here (almost all female, thus the reference to pantyhose in the title of this post) said it was going to cool down for the week and that we would have temps in the 80s. Well, they lied. Yep. It was cooler today, but we're back into the 90s for the rest of the week. Do you think that they will get a cut in pay for handing out this erroneous information? Perhaps even get fired for outright lying to people who are desperately seeking some cooler weather? Nope. They'll just stand in front of that big weather map and smile their little whitened toothy smile making more promises for relief from the heat until you want to bash your TV in. I have learned from experience that bashing in the TV doesn't change the weather, the quality of weather forecasting programming, the lies and deception foisted on us, the unsuspecting and hopeful public. It does however cost a lot of money to have the TV repaired or replaced and your knuckles fixed. And that coverage you bought with your TV that costs almost as much as the TV will not pay for the damage you have done. That falls under the "abuse and misuse" of the product category and so now both the weather forecaster and the TV coverage protection people are in cahoots, making you think you've got someone on your side, when you really don't. The only thing you have on your side is a hip, and, if you've been spending enough time sitting around, watching the TV weather forecaster and writing checks for extended TV warranties, then you've got a lot on your sides--both of them...
