Nation Faces Record Heat

August 3, 2006 | ISSUE 42•31

A devastating heat wave that began in the Southwest is moving through the Midwest and East, racking up record-breaking, triple-digit temperatures. What do you think?

As a radio DJ, I couldn't be happier. 'Heat Wave,' 'Summer In the City,' 'Fire'—they just don't make 'em like that anymore.

I'm tired of this shameless viral marketing for An Inconvenient Truth. The movie premiered in May. Enough already!

The nice thing about a heat wave is that everybody's trying to stay cool indoors and you can go to the bathroom pretty much wherever you want outside.
