They were worried about the terrorists immobilizing us, and a portion of our countrymen watch weather. 'Kay, you don't get any more immobile than that… unless you're in a goddamn coma.

If you want to know what the weather is you go to a window and stick your hand out and if you want to know what the temperature is you drive by a bank.”

Lewis Black (1948) American stand-up comedian, author, playwright, social critic and actor
