You certainly don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. That’s what the internet is for. Not so coincidentally, the internet is also used for predatory pederasts. Some of whom are TV weathermen.
Here’s a partial list
First up, there’s Bill Kemal in South Florida. Bill got five years. Bill is getting all the man-boy action he wants now.
Longtime Atlanta residents will remember the sordid tale of Russ Minshew. In the late-eighties there was some unpleasantness when some boys claimed that Russ tried to proposition them. The Interweb has almost no information about him and his ignomious fate except, "Whatever happened to the pervy Atlanta weatherman?"
There is Mark Mathis in Charlotte, NC. He hasn’t been arrested on any thing THAT WE KNOW OF but if you watch this video of him, it’s only a matter of time for ol’ Mark.
It wouldn’t take much imagination to wonder about David Lynch. Who for some reason does the weather. On his website. Perhaps I’m wrong. There is no way the guy behind Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart could be creepy? Could there?
Sam Champion of WABC in New York however, is a fine, upstanding, church-going citizen.
Then we have today’s winner, Ron Meroney got nabbed by the TBI in Memphis. Evidently he was hiding from the law by co-anchoring on the morning news in Memphis. Technically, I guess he isn’t a weather man, but close enough. His creepy story reminds me of an old Paul Simon song.
The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I’m going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I’m going to Graceland
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
My traveling companion is nine years old

Your blog appeared while I was searching for stories about Ron Meroney, WHBQ morning show anchor in Memphis.You come across as educated and well versed in your current events. What you lack is an understanding of the law: Meroney isn’t guilty of anything. He is being ACCUSED of the above charges. Your sick humor brands Meroney a guilty man. You’re passing judgement before the accused has a chance to defend himself.I sincerely hope the charges are not true. And if you even knew Ron personally, you would hope the same thing. Your cynical and arrogant attitude is typical of those who are content in others misfortunes: Kick ’em when they’re down, right?

From the quoted story: "He has a previous record in Maryland. In 1984, he received probation before judgement on a sex offense charge." So, yes Katy, he is guilty of being a pervy local TV personality. From the subtitle of this site: "Your worst humiliation is only someone else’s momentary entertainment." So,yes Katy, we are always interested in "being content in others misfortune". The Germans have a word for that called Schadenfreude. Those Germans have a word for everything.

I agree with Katy, and Mr. Sarcastro, did you notice he only received PROBATION? Likely, the judge couldn’t justify a sentence to jail as there must not have been enough evidence … or there’s probably other details that you just don’t know.None of us do! Honestly folks, who has all this free time to hound Mr. Meroney, collect the facts, obsess over his going-abouts and make wild accusations? I’m a rape victim, I’m a molestation victim, and let me tell you – The Meroney family is chock-full of nieces, daughters, grandaughters, cousins, the like. Not one of them has ever accused Ron Meroney of anything. And they would, because it’s happened before in the family.There’s some food for thought eh?Hiding behind his job my ass … sounds like there are some vindictive women lurking around, along with some malicious individuals just so freaking intent on watching Meroney hang for a crime he may not have committed. Get a life. Find your entertainment elsewhere – because Karma’s a bitch and it won’t be so fun when it’s your turn on the stand.

You girls aren’t part of Meroney’s fan club, are you? Where to start with adorable little Heather?"…did you notice he only received PROBATION? Likely, the judge couldn’t justify a sentence to jail as there must not have been enough evidence…" But, Heather, so you aren’t saying he was innocent? Because that would have resulted in, maybe, a NOT GUILTY verdict. By claiming that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict your hero, are you saying he did it, but got off with probation because he was…lucky? "The Meroney family is chock-full of nieces, daughters, grandaughters, cousins, the like. Not one of them has ever accused Ron Meroney of anything. And they would, because it’s happened before in the family." Maybe their mother’s knew better than to leave them alone with Uncle Ron.Heather, I don’t even know what to tell you about "Hiding behind his job my ass". That is what we call an absurdity. People who appear on television every day are hardly hiding from the law, now are they?"…sounds like there are some vindictive women lurking around,…" Or at least vindictive nine year olds who waited thirty years to exact their revenge."…along with some malicious individuals just so freaking intent on watching Meroney hang for a crime he may not have committed." Or may have. As you say, you don’t know."Find your entertainment elsewhere – because Karma’s a bitch and it won’t be so fun when it’s your turn on the stand." Looks like someone’s been watching My Name is Earl. Oh, and my turn on the stand won’t come any time soon, as I haven’t diddled any nine year olds. What I don’t get Heather, is that if you are a rape victim and a molestation victim, how does that square with your position as a Meroney groupie? I bet it’s because he reminds you of Dad.

It’s actually very complicated in this active life to listen news on Television, therefore I simply use world wide web for that reason, and get the most recent news.
