Frankly, I am getting sick of these types of posts in the right wing blogosphere.

The fact that there are some isolated examples of incorrect data does not change the fact that the overwhelming body of evidence shows that the P.J. Woods and Co. Insurance Calendar Weather Forecast is scientifically rigorous and well accepted by the scientific community.

This post also proves that I just learned how to do italics, and I will see if it can be scientifically replicated in a comment on Cthulhu's post momentarily.

In future posts in this category, it might be fun to compare P.J. Woods and Co. to the ten-day weather forecasts on weather.com and accuweather.com and see which one of them is closer or which one is correct more often.
