Rainbow to Nowhere
Like many government agencies, NOAA starts ill-conceived projects with no real vision for completion, just building the line-item budget. The rainbow to nowhere seems like such a project . . .
Possible Icing Conditions
Bob was glad he had tuned into the NOAA report citing possible icing conditions for small aircraft. Things like that were easy to overlook . . .
End of the Rainbow
Within minutes of spotting the double rainbow, NOAA experts showed up to study the phenomenon, the CIA came to make sure it wasn’t some spy device or leak of national security, the IRS came to see who, if anyone, found the pot(s) of gold at the end of the rainbow(s) to make sure the pot(s) of gold/rainbow tax was paid (not long term capital gains, ordinary income), a delegation from Congress came to see if the pots of gold could be used to balance the budget, and Al Gore came to explain that he invented rainbows, so any gold would be his. Finally, the President came to announce that there would be no permits issued for using rainbows as alternative fuel, and Eric Holder said since this was Texas, they would be suing either Texas or the rainbows, it wasn’t clear. All in all, it was a busy morning . . . . David, Sf.G.
