Healthcare debates are making for a long hot summer, except it hasn't been all that hot after all:

The July 2009 temperature for the contiguous United States was below the long-term average, based on records going back to 1895, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

I'm still waiting for the screaming NYT headlines warning us of yet another summer temperature record broken and how it signals the demise of the human race if we don't act now since it changed a whole .8 degrees.

Because if the temperature had actually gone UP .8 degrees, you know that is how the headlines would have read.
