Sweeps week at NPR?

Monday, December 5th, 2005

I made the mistake of listening to NPR today, and they were talking about the high winds plaguing Colorado today. After talking about the “hurricane-force winds” hitting CO (which turn out to actually be 30mph with gusts to 90), the reporterette doing the piece puts on her over-dramatic voice and comes out with this gem:

Differences in air pressure are causing these winds.

As opposed to what, phlogiston currents?
