'Baby, listen to Gary England'
Bird sent me this. It is such a hoot. Sen. Inhofe is in fine form dismissing the notion of global warming. Gary England is a local TV meteorologist in Oklahoma City. He can be goofy, but I like him. The day after this aired, England laughed with those who were laughing at him about Jon Stewart's take on one of his scary-ass weather promos.

ROFLMAO!
I sooo miss the Comedy Channel. Watched it for years while living out west, but down here in south-central OK, the cable provider can't be bothered to carry it. Phooey.

Ya know, if those of us who LIVE on the firing line of Tornado Alley think this is bizarre and heelarious, what must people in other parts of the country think??
I loves me some Oklahomans!
This is what happens when you let people willing to line up at a border and race for free land settle a state! You get every yahoo in the country showin' up! That's west.
My part of the state, to the east: This is what happens when ya let thieves, intruders and outlaws move in and take over the Indian nations! Ya get every yahoo and outlaw showing up -- including my own bunch who came out to the Cherokee Nation in the 1870s.
One thing it rarely is around here is boring. I love it.

Oh how I love being from North Central Oklahoma, land of oil barons who brought civility and culture to these wild lands as they traded a case of hooch for Native Americans' mineral rights. Yessiree Bob, those yahoos left behind some pretty impressive monuments to their egos. I guess penance has a hefty price tag.
We happened to catch The Daily Show when they ran this. Gary England is quite the institution, it sounds like.
In Chicago, we had Tom Skilling doing the weather forever on WGN. Skilling's brother is THE Jeffrey Skilling of ENRON infamy.
Anyway, I don't know if you saw it, but Stewart was downright jealous of the production abilities of the local station there.
It was quite a commercial. It scared me! Thank goodness Gary England was there to make it all right.

"Watch us and Live, Watch the other guys and Die." I think I have heard that before somewhere.
Production cost? Hell, those aren't special effects. It's just local news footage taken any spring.
Gary England does suffer from the Oklahoma version of the "Boss Hog" syndrome. He was the role model for the arrogant weatherman than got sucked up in the F-5 in the movie "Twister".
The promo must have been produced by an Eastern type Yankee. Hell, you don't need to scare Okies into an underground hole when a twister hits, it is genetic.
