Quid of the Pro Quo

Senator Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum has decided that it's time to use his Senatorial powers to rid this nation of a scourge so wretched..so terrible...so absolutely dangerous to our society as to warrant action.

Santorum is introducing a bill to limit the National Weather Service's information that it disseminates to the public.

Yes. Santorum is trying to save us all from the evils of weather.

But not just any weather. He's saving us from free market weather.

Santorum's bill would compel the US Secretary of Commerce to limit the National Weather Service to offering services that private companies don't want to tackle. The exceptions would be "severe weather forecasts and warnings designed for the protection of life and property" or information required by law for aviation purposes.

Ironically (Santorum's honest, forthright and nonlying staff says there's no connection) the PA based AccuWeather, a private weather company, has employees that give money to Santorum's campaign.

Of course had Santorum put this legislation into the Senate because of these contributions, that would be ILLEGAL.

I'd like to personally thank the citizens of Pennsylvania for voting this jerk into office. You've shown the rest of us just how stupid one elected official can possibly be. I've learned the lesson. Please vote him the hell out of office at the earliest possible date.

November 2006, to be specific.
