I don't know if you've ever visited Wilmington, NC but if you have - you've seen the U.S.S. North Carolina docked here on the Cape Fear River.

Now I know some people don't like Bastardi - and I have no qualms with that. It's not so much that I'm defending Bastardi - it's that I'm defending the world of LOGIC.

The assault on logic was so astounding - I had to take that battleship down to where the river meets the ocean and open up all those big guns! LOL.

The NHC is a federal agency with a specific task. Joe Bastardi is a SINGLE PERSON WITH A DIFFERENT TASK.

Everyone knows the NHC is the best in the world at hurricane forecasting and I challenge anyone to offer a reason why they wouldn't be. It's ALL they do for Pete's sake - and they're bankrolled by the Federal Government.

Bastardi is ONE PERSON. He forecasts winter weather, tropical weather, overseas weather, short, medium and long range weather and so on.

He forecasts for big business and he also takes time to write columns, do videos and whatever for Accuweather.

As an individual, it's quite conceivable Bastardi knows more about weather than any single individual at the NHC. In fact it's probably the case. But comparing an entire agency that only does one thing - to an individual that does everything...my God - there's not a shred of logic to it!

And if Bastardi criticizes the NHC or anyone else in government, so what? I criticize the government all the time - no matter who's in office. The last time I checked the Constitution I saw something about a RIGHT to do so.

If I don't like a politician, a retail store, a TV channel or whatever - I'm quite free to not give my support. If one doesn't like Bastardi - don't frigging read his columns or watch his videos!

Imagine some 350lb slob punching someone for saying something against his pro basketball team. The big slob isn't remotely capable of being ON the team - yet in his mind, he's a part of the team. Am I breaking through yet? LOL.

As a "weather nut" I know exactly what's in most people's minds here - but some people are like the 350 slob - if their "team" gets insulted, they take it personally. So if we boil it all down, this is what the TRUTH looks like: "I really dig all the stuff Bastardi does but he insulted my team so I hate him."

Perhaps now you can see why I pulled the U.S.S. North Carolina out of dock...
