Headlines I Hate

"It's the East Coast versus Hurricane Earl."

I hate when media frames things this way. In order for it to be a competition two willing participants have to be engaged. No?

A hurricane doesn't ask "wanna play?" It just hits you and you can't do a damn thing about it except take cover.

"The Commentator races to prevent inevitable volcanic eruption."

  3. How I long for the day we can hit back. Global weather control would be great. The South needs some regional A/C action.
