So now the state is going to hire itself a $100,000-a-year weatherman.
Deval, this time we won’t be needing the charade of one of your nationwide searches — plenty of un- or under-employed meteorologists around here.
Dick Albert, Bruce Schwoegler, the luscious Mish Michaels, even Shelby Scott, sort of an honorary weatherperson.
I’ll bet Al Kaprielian could be had for the right price, and I’ll also wager the right price is considerably less than $100,000. My personal preference — bring back Melissa Mack, late of Channel 4, from Cleveland. She was all that most of us males want in weather forecasting — a babe!
The best thing about being the commonwealth’s official climatologist is that unlike real TV weathermen, this new weather hack won’t have to work during the actual blizzards. He or she will no doubt be designated a nonessential, excuse me, nonemergency worker.
Amazing. No money to reduce DCF case loads, or for supervising the state crime lab, but we’re going to hire a weatherman.
On the other hand, Deval’s newfound interest in global warming, I mean climate change, is just so yesterday. Niagara Falls has frozen over, the global-warming nuts’ boat is stuck in the Antarctica ice, and Deval is trying to morph into Al Gore:
“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”
Hey, Deval, if he wasn’t on the lam, I know what Al Gore would tell you: “This hoax ain’t big enough for both of us.”
Deval yesterday rattled off the names of some supposedly unforgettable recent storms, all of which you’ve probably forgotten. Well, all but one, and I’ll bet it’s the same one Deval remembers — the snowstorm in October 2011, with the black ice that ended the career of his bent lieutenant governor, Tim “Crash” Murray.
Deval recalls the Halloween blizzard every Wednesday at noon, when he has to chair the weekly meeting of the Governor’s Council. That was Crash’s job, until he crashed and burned. You remember that fiasco — he told reporters he was going 65 mph when his Taurus was actually going 108 when it achieved liftoff. And some “deniers” claim there’s no global warming.
Wait a second, some of you may be saying, that Tim Murray snowstorm was in October, so how can it be global warming? If anything, it’s global cooling.
Which is why the moonbats changed the name. The latest iteration is “climate catastrophe.” You remember the movie “Apocalypse Now”? Climate catastrophe is Apocalypse Down the Road.
So the way it works now is, if it’s hot, it’s climate catastrophe. If it’s cold, it’s climate catastrophe. If it rains a lot, or if it’s not raining — well, you get the picture.
Why do you think the same moonbats pushing climate catastrophe also want to legalize pot? It’s a lot easier to put this three-card monte game over on couch potatoes who are so stoned they can’t remember what happened 10 minutes ago.
Come to think of it, they sound a lot like Deval’s voters.
Howie. Is Biff Buffington available for the job?
The headline of the Springfield, MA paper today indicated the state was going to spend $56 million in grants to curb global warming.
Two things immediately struck me.
If Global change is caused by man, then $56 million is not going to do much to change it. $56B? Maybe a dent.
If Global change is not a real thing, this is the best scam ever.
Either way, Deval is pissing away my tax money.
I was wrong. Its $52M.

I want the guy who used to be on the channel from Derry, NH. He is a nut.
I can see him as Hillary’s VP, and POTUS in 2025, sooner if Hillary can’t make it to the finish.
Is that the fat guy with a high pitched voice?
