Anderson Cooper is an Idiot

I just watched a clip of Anderson Cooper standing near a big hotel sign waiting to fall. A man next to him mentioned that it could be really dangerous. No kidding! A smart person would find some shelter. But Cooper wanted to do his best "Scud Stud" impersonation. Too bad none of that fallen aluminum didn't clock him on the head.

UPDATE: Greyhawk gives us hurricane reality versus media hype. I'm waiting for the "massive flooding" a Fox News weather girl claimed would happen once Dennis moved north into the Ohio River Valley. You almost think the cable news channels want a 21st Century version of the Johnstown Flood.

"Dennis 'Hammers' Florida"

UPDATE II: This from the Dalek Weblog:

So far, it seems to be a big rainstorm. Which is pretty much what I said about Ivan, as I recall. Yup.

But the media here is in full End-Of-The-World-Mode™, and all networks are covering this thing like it was Godzilla rising out of Oak Mountain lake. And all they say is ‘rain, wind, wind, rain, back to you in the studio, Buffy McFacelift’. Yawn.
