Even Acts of God Turn Political Before Katrina made landfall in the Gulf, I predicted that somehow President Bush would not only be blamed for the government's response to the disaster, but for the storm itself. My predictions were closer than I believed. The collision of nerdy meteorologists and paranoid government conspiracy theorists has made big news recently in the media with sroucrs such as The O'Reilly Factor and the USA Today. One Idaho television weatherman has recently quit his job to pursue his study of these theories. Scott Stevens believes that the contrails found in the sky that are associated with these storms are evidence that these storms are induced by man. He goes on to predict that another major disaster will strike the U.S. by the end of 2005.
