Been powerless for the past four days, ergo no blogging. And as I sat there seething in the dark, I was planning to type thousands of words describing what out and out thieves public utilities are and how they've never given a d*** about customer inconvenience and never will.
In fact, having had the same provider, LIPA, for eons and personally gone through many previous horror shows due to their mismanagement of whatever befalls them, I could list considerable examples of their failures during disasters in the past. Be that as it may however, at around ten AM today two emergency trucks from Joplin, Missouri showed up and a half hour later I was blogging again on line. So, now that I'm feeling better I'll skip the rest of the rhetoric, because if I learned nothing else from the past, expecting competence from government, a utility or any kind of public service is so far beyond ridiculous it's not even worth typing any more words.
Then we have our leader who had to cut his vacation short due to fears that high winds and torrential rains might blow him off the Vineyard, so he came back to DC. And the most interesting thing about that was, Christie and Bloomberg among a whole host of governors and mayors from the Northeast were so quick to respond this time around that they all upstaged him to the extent that he had absolutely nothing of value to add. And I guess that only goes to further prove that worthlessness is a trait that stays with you no matter what it is you're trying to do.
And while I was contemplating the fact that we have a guy in office who has no clue as to what leadership is all about, I thought back to the last presidential campaign and George Soros. Because it became very clear once the administration funded Soros' oil venture in Brazil as to why moveon.org had spent so much money buying the last election. They needed a puppet Soros could control.
But, even so. Why would they want someone in the White House who was so far off the wall that he doesn't even understand his own constituency? While pandering to unions, which only account for twelve percent of the work force, and trying to shred the business community, he's managed to alienate almost seventy percent of the voting public while the chances are that number will grow. What's more, his failed energy policies will likely lead his successor next November to cut off all foreign sources of oil ASAP and ramp up drilling here.
And so it seems Mr. Soros has really missed the boat on this one. And I can surely imagine the frustration he must feel. Because it really has to be painful when you invest the sums that he has assuming that no one could be that stupid and ineffectual only to find out millions later that they surely can.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
