    They were busy plotting to torch the Reichstag in '32, while blaming it on the 99%.

    I thought this had something to do with real 1%ers

    Oh well, they wanted a downsized Federal government anyway. No need for Federal disaster aid, we have to cut spending and the churches and other private charaties will provide. If not, they can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix things themselves.

    Nah, it was 1941, and they used it when bombing Pearl Harbor.

    The 1 %'s are starting to eat themselves. It seems like power crews are making to some towns and not others. Ridgefield still at 87% no power:

    Perhaps because their First Selectmen has been complaining to wrong company.

    In patch article he complains about "Northeast Utilities" which has been defunct for 4-5 years. Company he needs is CT Light and Power:


    Schools will remain closed until at least Thursday as 74 percent of Ridgefield is still without power.

    First Selectman and Emergency Operations Director Rudy Marconi said Monday afternoon that, although the damage was arguably worse this weekend than during tropical storm Irene, the reaction by Northeast Utilities has been similarly frustrating.

    "It's Irene all over again, no change," Marconi said. "They'll say, 'It was only eight weeks ago, how can you expect changes?' but that's the problem -- [Northeast Utilities] should have implemented these changes weeks ago."

    Ridgefield was at 74 percent without power by 5:30 p.m. Monday.

    Marconi blamed state legislators in Hartford, as well, for "continuing to plan" rather than coordinating into action the money set aside for emergency preparedness.
