I submit this post by Jake Sapiens as an example of an insult to me
personally (re: memebot), the kind of thing that our new sheriff
supposedly forbade. I also note that the section that specifically had to
do with power grids, namely "One of the concerns, obviously, is the
aging power grid; the growing problem that we have in getting electricity
from the power plant to the light switch. It's clear that we must upgrade
and expand the power grid. If we put more connections in place, we'll
go a long way towarfs avoiding future blackouts.", was cut, and then the
charge came that the comments Cheney made had nothing to do with
power grids, even those that were deleted directly addressed them.
