Here's another version (though I agree with the other comments that there
ain't much wrong with it as is).  This took slightly longer than using the
methods Chuck and Winsor have described, but it is what you describe.

I copied the entire image to a new PS layer.  I used the magnetic lasso to
select the ground on the background layer and erased it.  I inverted the
selection and applied it to the copy layer then erased the sky.  Reverting
to the background layer I used the Edit - Transform - Skew command to
stretch the sky then used clone and heal brushes to plug in the gaps where
the ground features had been.

If you want to move the new sky around, there is a PSD version here:

Well,
  Now when you sez that...I need some help...
  Here is the offending image:

  I really hate the triangular portion of clear sky on the left side of the
picture.  I would like to either "stretch" the clouds down until they reach
the horizon, but still look like a fan, meaning that the upper left corner
will be clear of clouds as it is at present, or replace with a different
sky.  I dont need an opinion on which to choose, I need directions for
either method.
  Please, be as detailed as possible when giving instructions.  I am going
to use CS2 to accomplish the task.  My PS skills are pretty basic, but the
good part is that I don't feel intimidated by the software, I actually enjoy
tweaking pictures in PS when the time allows.  Unfortunately, as of lately,
I barely have time for email...
  Feel free to Moozifikate any way you want, if needed I will post a larger
image.
  Thanks in advance
  Boris
