QOTD: "Brian Beutler‘s day job selling cheap Mexican heroin at the playground near an elementary school wasn’t producing enough revenue, and his weekend gig pimping kidnapped orphan girls to Saudi oil sheiks still didn’t make the nut. The cost of living is outrageous in DC nowadays and so, finally, Brian Beutler was forced to the desperate resort of doing something genuinely heinous, writing lies for Salon.com.

Yesterday, an AOSHQ co-blogger let his hatred of Maureen Dowd get the better of him and actually linked a Salon takedown of her. As much as I despise Maureen Dowd, however, the fact that she was denounced by Alex Pareene makes me think the old gal must have accidentally written a couple of factually accurate sentences lately, because if there is anything that Salon hates more than facts, it’s accuracy.

Generally speaking, every word published by Salon is the exact opposite of truth, and they only employ writers so fanatically dishonest that even such infamous organs of mendacity as the New York Times and the Washington Post want nothing to do with them." --Robert Stacy McCain

Stupid headline about wildfires threatening power and water supplies to San Francisco.

There's a small hydro plant there that puts power into the grid. SF takes power from the grid to run a few pumping stations to boost water into SF's reservoirs. The water flows downhill without pumps until the Central Valley. The overall grid will take it from there.

Even with the fire, water and electricity will not be limited to the city of San Francisco.

Just another stupid journalist no knowing squat about the subject at hand.
