What is wrong with TV meteorologists? Some bimbo just tried to tell me that there was a patch of cold air over the east and mild air over the west coast today. 'Mild' air'? Mildly cold, mildly warm, mildly wet or windy? Or maybe she's talking about higher or lower barometic pressures, but who the fuck* would know. It was a 'Brass Eye' moment, and I am not pleased.

And this has nothing whatsoever to do with that 3" pile of scientific papers staring at me, waiting to be evaluated for a systematic review, the job app deadline this morning or the Child Benefit Agency's correspondence. Not connected at all, and no, it is not that time of the month.

* For DD, who doesn't care for foul language, especially from ladies.

Addendum-
I'm equally offended by this CNN article referring to a perfectly respectable mustelid (a marten) dying of bird 'flu on Ruegen as a 'weasel-like creature'. That's just disrespectful. And no, I still haven't done that job app.
