The segments I find most weird are when they have a non judeo-christian cleric dressed in outlandishly foreign looking “other” garb and they wind them up because the whole point is to get a foreigner yelling in costume with an accent. ---

It might be fun to get that job. You get to dress up, pretend to be a foreigner, spout nonsense, and get paid. Sounds like a darn good New Year’s Party to me. ---

The New York Times [reports](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/06/business/media/fox-weather-channel-plus.html) (paywall warning, obviously) that Fox is planning to introduce “Fox Weather”, its competition to the Weather Channel. I’m kind of wondering how the channel will talk about weather effects related to global climate change. ---

Bad weather will have a flashing blue arrow pointed left, good weather will have a flashing red arrow pointed right, and all the hurricanes and tropical storms will have foreign names. ---

Each hurricane, tornado or other bad weather event will be blamed on a specific liberal policy. “Yesterday a tornado swept through an Oklahoma neighborhood. Our weather experts are saying this was caused by Biden’s policy of extending the existing pause on federal student loan repayments.” ---

All their weather forecasters will be selected via online polls, because it would be unconstitutional and unpatriotic to entrust weather forecasting to unelected “experts” that are captives of the Deep State with a radical left higher education. You’ll be able to start your morning with the jewel of the Fox Weather line-up —- “Hot Air” with Rudy Guiliani. Rudy will broadcast from Central Park and he’ll spend the entire three hour time slot talking to squirrels, ranting about election fraud and pretending we don’t see him gulping from the whiskey bottle he hid in the bushes. But viewers will be able to gauge the weather and wind speed from the color and consistency of his sweat and the hair dye that runs down his face. ---
