I've been picking on them so much lately, I feel the need to share the wealth with my other former state of residence. No, not Rio, sillies...Pennsylvania!!! And, don't for get to wait...for...it...
From Donna Wentworth at Corante (hat tip to The Disenchanted Forest): Rick Santorum is concerned about AccuWeather's profit margin, he wants us to "pay twice" to get access to weather information from the National Weather Service, so that AccuWeather doesn't have to complete with "free" government service.
Did you wait?:
AccuWeather's operation is housed in its Global Headquarters, a 52,000 square foot facility built on 6.5 acres of land near State College, PA.
AccuWeather spent several years designing its headquarters, incorporating many features that enable us to serve our clients even better than ever. Some of the highlights include redundant computer facilities, on-site UPS and power generation, 23 radio booths and a TV studio.
The dramatic operations room is larger than two basketball courts, and with a 21-foot high ceiling, it enables AccuWeather meteorologists, graphic artists, editors and operational support staff to interact together as integrated teams.
The headquarters' state-of-the-art design and equipment enables AccuWeather to provide the most reliable and accurate weather information well into the new millennium.
Ahhhhh! The overripe smell of constituent service! Majikthise smells something fishy too.
