HVAC

One, I simply cannot stand this sensationalized news phenomenon, espcially when it reaches into the Weather Reports. Why on earth is the weather segment sponsored by Feldco? What? And then why is it that every day of nice weather we have is covered with this ominous "It might be nice today - but not for LONG! It's going be awful real soon! Sure it's a beautiful June day, but the blizzards of winter are Right Around The Corner!!! Today's headline - "Don't Expect a Weekend This Warm for a While" Gee, thanks Tom. Cause you meteorologists are so great at what you do. I kid you not, two nights ago the weatherman was saying "And on Saturday, highs in the upper 70's" while the large picture beside his head read "Saturday's high - 68." Ok, so it's network news. Then I flipped to the BBC and the reporter there said "Just 26 days to go until the U.S. presidential election." The large sign beside her head? You guessed it - "25 Days Until Election. " Sheesh people. And yes I understand you want to get your news on the web immediately, so there's bound to be some typos. But isn't anyone editing this stuff once it gets out there? I've seen the same typo in a headline article out there for hours. But I digress. Which I guess is the point of blogs really. Hmm.
So anyway, why is this article buried out there? From the LA Times, October 9, 2008 David Lazarus, "For Insensitivity, Wachovia Refuses to Be Outdone." I think this needs to be front and center every day until someone does something about the fact that these greedy little greedsters are still planning to go through with their wining and dining all-expense-paid cruises to the Greek Isles and their over-the-top luxurious conferences while tax money is being shored up to help them out of their greedy mess. Totally unacceptable.
Lastly, a coworker had this great idea. If Obama wins - Bill Clinton as US ambassador to the UN. And then I thought of these two - Hillary Clinton as Atty General and Bill Cosby as head of Urban Communities. (That's a new office I invented for him. Maybe Heather could run the Chicago office.)
