Good morning, GN. Power came back on around 8:00 this morning. I guessed about 36 hours, but it ended up being 32 or so. Now I’ll clean up, recharge everything that needs recharging, and work on the generator -- it’s making a high-pitched noise while running that sounds like something loose inside vibrating.
I used to read and enjoy Patterico, but it’s been many years since I found anything on his site of interest or even reasonable. I’m not sure when he took a hard left turn, but whenever I look at his site now I stay for a minute and then leave in disgust. And while I agree with this sentiment, it’s his hatred of Trump that comes through and not anything related to American liberty.
“If Donald Trump is going to become a tyrant, the American people will have to examine the option of dealing with him the way a citizenry deals with a tyrant.” Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the “tree of liberty must be refreshed” with “the blood of patriots and tyrants” periodically.
His defense will be that he used the word “if” and also to claim some type of owning MAGA as that quote is often seen around “far right” folks. What I’ve often found odd about Patterico is that he’s a DA in Los Angeles, but never seems to have anything to say about crime or other problems in LA especially in the DA’s office. Perhaps I’ve just missed them.
Happy Annoying Wednesday, Gerbil Nation!
dv8 -- good on you for getting some lights up.
I hope Sven gets power back soon.

At least it didn’t go out when you were without power.
Thread pic error: Should have pictured a cat not a coon.
No, just doing my part to stop the spread or mis/dis/malinformation.
That sounds like the Biden administration, doesn’t it?
No need to insult me, Mac.

I’m way behind on this myself -- have to catch up today/tomorrow.

Wow! I haven’t read Patterico since he went off the deep end with Trump. It looks like he hasn’t gotten over it.
Wow! I have not looked in there in some time. I am frankly shocked at him. I am shocked he would think that and even more that he would post that.
