The Lyrics
M.S.N.B.C.'s Dylan Ratigan is an intemperate soul. Not content to admit that the D.C. snowfalls may have disproved global warming, he now sites the storms as PROOF of climate change. I've heard this reasoning before...in Orwell's 1984! ;D
M.S.N.B.C. has
This fool Dylan Ratigan.
He says the big snowfall that's alarming
Is the end result of global warming!
He claims the warmer air
Holds more moisture drops.
It's his chore to be for
Old Al Gore - he's a climate whore!
Ratigan - just stop!
Who are we to dispute
Genius Dylan Ratigan?
Even though the snow's up to your belly,
He knows best because he's on the "telly"!
Even Democrats say
Cap/trade now can't pass.
Dylan cries "All your eyes
Tell you lies! I'm the one that's wise!"
Ratigan's - an ass!
Actually, M.S.N.B.C. has always loved the "Weathermen". ;D

Loved this! : D In Glen Beck's newsletters. one report said that it's cold, so therefore it must be warm. I think they even have/had a video.: D
Clip of above....http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/36153/
Thanks, friend. Perhaps you are poorly named...as a musician, I know what "adagio" means. There is absolutely nothing "very slow" about you! ;D
The vision is as clear as the fives you well deserve. I've had the 1984 vision as well:

I've never heard of this guy, but I'm delighted to see a parody of this old tune from my youth.
I hear ya 5 by 3 (feet)!
More turnabouts in the story than in a championship Twister match... and LOL @ outro!!!
Funny stuff. It's been cold here recently (Florida). I know that's surprising, but it's cold everywhere! And Ribber, Adagio's been on the site for years, I remember her from years ago.
At first I thought this was going to be about Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective. Well, I haven't Dylan Ratigan's show, but from what you told us, he does fit the description of the rat! LOL!!! Great tribute to Ratigan, the world's greatest rat! Who is he to make such a silly prediction?! BTW, it had snowed from our end two days ago and my bro and I spent 4 hours clearing out the snow from the front of our house! 555.
O.M. Ribber ....thanks! Than call me andante, or just Pat (f). Patagio is one name I like. : )
I remember after Katrina the Gore-mongers were saying that this is just the start. Many more major hurricanes to come next year and decade. Major hurricanes have been less than half of those dire predictions. What a bunch of maroons!
Shoot!! We've ALWAYS had weather, good or bad. \o/
War is peace.... Slavery is freedom .... Lies are truth .... Cold is warm. 111. (= 555, heh heh!) .. echo FG @ outro, and John Barry's comment.
btw, it's true that warmer air *can* hold a greater quantity of moisture than colder air (hence the term "relative humidity" -- related to the max that could be present at that temperature), but unless it gets *cold*, it'll fall as *rain*, d'oh! ... this tip from your local MeTeorlogisT.
