DAMN THIS GLOBAL WARMING – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:  I am informed that we're about to have a blizzard here in New York.  I guess the global-warming priests are re-running the numbers. 

But I must admit to skepticism.  It may be just chance, but the New York City region has a history of false snowstorm alarms.  Last year was particularly bad for the forecasters.   We would be told we were doomed, and then TV news crews would fight to get an interview with the one snowflake that descended.  The snowflake generally had no comment.

This forecast, however, does look pretty serious.  We are awaiting Mayor Mike Bloomberg's statement.  He will undoubtedly caution us against blaming the Muslims.

Be not in despair.  In case you hear that we're snowed in, with electricity out, Urgent Agenda will still be functioning.  We have battery-powered backup equipment, and, as long as cell phone service is intact, can connect to the Verizon network wirelessly.  I learned well from the Boy Scouts. 

So rest assured that you will not miss any important statements by Nancy Pelosi.
