      More question mark reporting. It's a nice way of covering one's behind when it turns out to be WRONG WRONG WRONG.

      "Dick Morris secretly plotting to hijack Air Force One for drug-running purposes?"

      Wow, that never gets difficult.

        It's better when they say "Some people say yes."

        ...Of course, "some people" is uh... them.

      Yes, a person who is developing sustainable green energy has just stopped hiring researchers and employees because it has snowed. Good for the economy?

      Sure we might be using a lot of gas heat and home heating oil but we can forget that green stuff because everyone knows that fossil fuels are eternal...

      Keep in mind the NPR report today, that two icebergs roughly the size of Luxembourg crashed into each other recently and that one was broken off and is now floating free. Just a tad more important than blizzards, I would think.

      YESSS. TECHNOLOGICAL STAGNATION!!

      It's always awesome to preserve the status quo, isn't it? No pesky innovative products to stifle their monopoly.

      The right wing wants the rest of the world to lead the way on green technology and leave the U.S. in the coal dust. Good for their economies.

        The far right seems to have the long-term thinking capabilities of hamsters. They poo right next to their food dish.

      these storms are putting an incredible strain on local economies that already have a diminishing tax base. The overtime, fuel costs, supplies have pushed local governments to their limit. Then add in the layoffs due to budget cuts.

      Where is the part that blizzards help the economy?

        Economy in their minds means a handful of rich lobbyists who back the Republican party. Governments aren't companies so they figure they are supposed to go broke.
