Daily News Not Into Moscow's "War On Snow"

Yes, the mayor of Moscow has called war against snow—hey, it's expensive to shovel— and "will marshal the Russian air force and air defense systems to intercept advancing storm fronts and hit them with dry ice and silver iodine particles." The Daily News has an editorial denouncing the idea—and prefaces it with, "Mayor Bloomberg, stop reading this editorial. Right now. Thank you," lest our mayor get any ideas. (Well, a Russian lawmaker did say, "If it works out, Chicago or Montreal may want to copy us.")

Pay no attention to the man behind the (third term election) voting booth curtain! He is great and powerful and that's all you need to know. He will ban snow and fun in his 3rd term, but whaddayagonnadoaboudit?
