Funniest blog post I've read this week

While this was written in December, I think it would give me the giggles to read it in July. Check out "Weather Nation" from Rick Mercer's blog.

C'mon. Any post that uses the term "Torontarded" has to be good, particularly when you're talking to someone born and raised in Thunder Bay, who also lived in Ottawa (and thus observed its "Toronto complex") for eight years.

An excerpt from "Weather Nation" by Rick Mercer:

"We don't have forecasts anymore - we have weathertainment. And it's all designed to scare the hell out of you. Cold weather and snow is now reported like a plague of locusts or raining frogs. Problem is, it's not a sign of a coming apocalypse -- it's just business as usual in Canada. But tell that to the crowd at the Weather Network. You listen to them for five minutes, you wouldn't leave the house for five months." Read more...

For my Cali friends... it's not only the Bay area that has "STORM WATCH!!!!"
