Memo to NYC - That's No Hurricane, Mate

Most of us who spent some time along the Gulf Coast are aware of the difference between hurricanes, tropical storms, and rain showers.

Most of us who spent some time in or around the NYC area are aware that the media there has a huge megaphone that often has a problem restraining itself from hyperbole.

Memo to New Yorkers regarding this weekend’s “Hurricane Irene”:

THIS IS NOT A HURRICANE, IT IS A RAIN STORM

THIS IS A HURRICANE

THIS IS THE REMNENT OF A RAINSTORM

THIS IS THE REMNENT OF A HURRICANE

THIS IS A WELL-DRESSED MORON IN A RAINSTORM

THIS IS AN ILL-DRESSED MORON IN A HURRICANE

DAY AFTER HEADLINES

DAY AFTER IRENE VS. KATRINA
