Apparently, the Weather Channel has metastasized.

All morning on CNN & MSNBC it's tornado time, 100%. There is no other news that they feel like covering.

In the meantime, you can eat up great chunks of time catching up on the Libby trial at FDL... (which is what I've been doing all week)

1. I know. I just said that to my roommate.

I turned the TV off and turned on Sam Seder.

One story, maybe 2 ok. But it's been 2 hours.

2. Oh, my favorite subject!! NADERS!!

Will tune in now. Coolest thing in the world, SlingBox, I can watch American TV in Europe on my laptop. Wouldn't want to miss any of the 24/7 tornado, kidnapping, sensational news d'jour.

:rofl:

4. 7O7.. Not only am I not getting any work done...

I find I have nearly abandoned my own dear DU. . just from lack of time.

My name is annabanana, and I am a Libby Trial junkie.

6. They were supposed to be covering the DNC...

so the weather is a convenient excuse to avoid giving Dems airtime.

[Bluebear]

7. Seems like a pretty big news story to me

9. I Should Get In My Car, Drive Ten Or So Miles, And See For Myself

8. Not even Groundhog day then?

10. 14 dead so far

On the second day of February from tornados.

Folks, this IS big news. Kind of goes real well with the global warming report that came out yesterday.

But I am sure it was really a conspiracy and Cheney used his weather control machine last night just to distract from the Libby trial.

11. With 14 dead ....

and a brother and SIL within 20 miles of the epicenter- I am kind of glad for the coverage...no answer at home phone, but it rings,multiple out of service messages at cell....I think any real damage would have knocked out the land-line....oh well, I'll just keep checking....

[trumad]

12. I think 14 dead kinds of warrants continuous news coverage.
