TV reporters are getting soaking wet and wind-blown from standing outside as Hurricane Irene arrives along the East Coast. A hurricane is a terrible event, but it really is fun to see the pretty TV people drenched by rain and trying to stand up in a mighty wind.

Rick Perry, governor of Texas who is running for president, was recently accused of doing a bad George Bush impersonation.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney says that corporations are people. And sometimes churches are corporations. And then catsup is a vegetable. And some leather shoes are cows.

A guy from Wyoming wondered why people in hurricane paths are concerned about 50 mph winds. "It's that windy every day here," he said, walking at an angle.

An American got a job recently and President Obama took his Canadian-produced bus to go shake the guy's hand in hopes of keeping the Stock Market from dropping like a rock.

Obama's advisers said sometimes Obama has been so far to the right that he's angered his liberal base. But his advisers think that's okay and they advise him to anger more of his liberal base so that he can compromise with Republicans and produce more mediocre legislation, even if it means his base will abandon him and he ends up with only 100 votes (the votes of his advisers). But his advisers advise him that that's okay. Nothing like good advice to make a president successful.

TV reporters are getting drenched from standing outside and covering the hurricane news. Newspaper journalists, who get to stay inside because they don't have to rely on dramatic visuals on video, are dry, but still a bit windy.

If Gov. Rick Perry doesn't win the Republican nomination or the U.S. presidency, he will return home to Texas to consider becoming potentate when Texas secedes from the union.

Counseling services, like the one run by presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and her husband, came under fire recently when a straight man complained about counseling services to "cure" people from being gay. Said an angry straight man, "Why do gay people get all of the services? It's discrimination! Where are the counseling services for a person who wants cured of being straight?!"

TV reporters are still out in the hurricane weather, getting soaked by the rain. The TV ratings have been so good that some networks have decided to spray their TV reporters with water from garden hoses while they give the news, whether there's a hurricane in the area or not. The drama of a pretty person in a windy down-pour is just too darned good to limit it to just times of rain and wind.

This week's episode of "Celebrities Chasing Squirrels" includes a remarkable segment about a squirrel saved in a hurricane by a valiant, but well-drenched TV reporter.

A TV reporter during the hurricane was seen hugging a tree with his legs flopping parallel to the ground. He was advising people to stay inside because it was too rainy and windy. He said, "Some people don't have enough sense to come in from out in the rain."
