Overwrought Meteorological Metaphors

I agree with the general sentiment, but good grief, the violence done to meteorology!:

Being the Nostradamus-lite that I am, I saw storm clouds hovering over a second Bush term. But these weren't storm clouds caused by the stabilization of a mesoscale region through violent heat exchange between the lower and upper atmospheres, fueled by diurnal heating, UV radiation, and moisture advection. No, these clouds were caused by idiots who thought the violent heat exchange coming from between their left and right butt cheeks didn't stink.
