Jellus of WV, they get snow, we get this shite.
As it is, in southeast PA the wind and rain is definitely intensifying. Local flooding underway for a couple hours. We just lost a big branch from a dying tree in the backyard.

My initial reaction was, "Sweet. Firewood."

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

That's really terrible. I hope the people there are alright.

Things are wet and windy here, but I have yet to see flooding or downed trees. I have the blinds next to my desk open so I can watch the storm.

If they did, then like everything else they've done this election season it's only going to slap them in the nuts, rather than the Dems.

Next thing you know it'll be raining sand.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Still got power, but the lights are constantly flickering. It's like an epileptic's nightmare up in here. :p

Anyways, a huge tree branch fell in the backyard. Guess who has to help move it. And it's super windy so it sort of has a Halloweeny feel to it.

EDIT: I CAN SEE THE FUCKING WATER. JESUS CHRIST.
