I sent this reply to a rain hater on a thread similar to this one back in August 2009:

My summer rainwear includes a baseball cap as described above, and plastic bags to go over and tucked into my socks to keep them dry, or at least free of road grime. I also carry a large plastic bag to cover my rear trunk bag, and small baggies to cover my computer.
For you rain lovers, someone once posted to a Forum about what gets kicked up from the road surface, besides grease and other chemicals, to include "liquified road kill." 
I rode in the rain this morning for the first three of my 14 mile commute.
