Whoa. I thought that was "my" weatherman. I didn't even know he left.

I wish him well but in my humble opinion, the ad above is not nearly as bad as the local NBC's "Derek said it would be like this" jingle. Don't miss that pet peeve.
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."
