Senator Wants to Kill National Weather Service

"Millions rely on the National Weather Service for forecasts. The government agency said that it registered more than 1billion hits on its Web site alone in 2004. But Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) wants the public to turn to private forecasters."

The most disgusting example of self serving politics ever! Mr. Santorum's state is home to three of the largest COMMERCIAL Weather Forcast Services in the US, imagine that! These companies make BILLIONS yearly, but they want Ricky to shut down one of the most benificial uses of tax dollars the system has, so they can make us pay them a few billion more just to see if we are going to be hit by a hurricane. And they won't give you more than 3 hour animations of weather systems, USELESS!
