Ya know the highlight (serious sarcasm) was the 2003 snafu that led my local affiliate to cover the severe weather warning for 5 bloody hours, making us sit with our Derby party in our apartment, angrily crunching on our homemade sesame seed chicken while they talk about a storm that's not even going on in our part of the state. I was yelling at the tv (obviously to no effect) that the people in the area of the storm on the east coast were suffering power outages on such a scale that they couldn't possibly be watching the coverage and they should stop interrupting my Derby. Callous I know but they couldn't even break in to show the blasted race. We had to get a call through to someone's cell phone in Pennsylvania to hear that Funny Cide had won.
