GRINNELL, Iowa (AP) - Cars on both lanes of Interstate 80 stopped to weather a swirling blizzard, but it wasn't snow. It was cash.


It is becoming increasingly apparent that meteorology as a science is being overwhelmed by an ever rising tide of predatory socialism. When blizzards take it upon themselves to redistribute wealth with no regard for property rights then who can truly say that they are safe from the heavy handed exactions of Big Weather? And blizzards are only a small example of what the coercive power of the weather can do. Shall we see, in the near future, thirty-year mortgages swept away by hurricanes, or student loans cancelled en masse by tornadoes, or the liquidity offered by the stock market drowned by a nor’easter?
Can meteorology be saved from the neo-Marxist leftist intellectuals who now threaten the very ground on which meteorology now stands? Will Big Weather become the newest liberal threat to American democracy? The constant reader may rest assured that The Passing Parade is keeping a sharp eye on this new threat to our great country.
