Year-end GAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKK
One of the stupid morning shows on talk radio just reached a new height of stupidity. The possibly "male" host and "his" two possibly "female" sidekicks were dealing with Trendings. The first Trending for today is Boxing Day.
The nominally "male" host declared with unusually firm authority:
"Boxer day originated from the Boxer Rebellion in England."
How many errors in one firm authoritative statement? Jesus.
= = = = =
More stupidity from a less expected source, one of the 'astrology' types on the moneytalk station. Normally the 'astrology' types are firmly in contact with reality. This dude was discussing the weather in terms of commodities and agriculture, and marveled at the weirdness of this year in the Northwest. "Spokane has snow today, and it's 10 degrees! I guess maybe they're in the mountains or something."
Must be confusing Spokane with Seattle.
In fact this winter is pretty much average (SO FAR), and 10 degrees is a tad cool but nothing special. (Note to weather gods: I'M NOT COMPLAINING! Last year had FOUR CONSECUTIVE HARDASS SEASONS. I'm thankful for a return to the mean.)
