Come on Drudge, Give Me a Break!

Has Matt Drudge been overcomed by the heat? The big headline he has up now is "How Hot Will it Get?" with a digital readout saying "119". And a link to this story:
A ferocious heatwave that has gripped the western United States was expected to continue on Friday, with sizzling record temperatures forecast across the sun-baked region.

Several cities across the affected states witnessed record high temperatures on Thursday, including Las Vegas, where arriving tourists were greeted by furnace-like temperatures of 117 degrees F (47 C).

Meanwhile the US Border Patrol in Arizona, which saw Phoenix roasted in 115 degree F (46 C) temperatures on Thursday, issued warned illegal immigrants of the dangers of attempting to cross the border from Mexico in the heat.

All right, Matt, have you checked your atlas lately? Because I have to inform you that Las Vegas and Phoenix are built in deserts which tend to get hot in the summer time. In fact I am from Phoenix and have seen 115, 120 degree days many a time, they are not unusual.

So quit trying to kiss up to the Al Gore-bot, go back to reporting the good stuff and leave the weather reporting to those that are paid to give incorrect weather reports.
