Well Hillary tried to improve our relations with the Russians. She pushed a reset (overcharge) button and everything.

But then again, this is being reported by our national intelligence agencies so maybe it's bogus. Better wait and see what Russian State media says. Stay tuned.

Umm, . . . actually it was being reported by The Washington Post. Upon learning that the malware in the electrical grid was, in fact, not in the electrical grid, The Washington Post appended
changed the headline and appended a note to the "story":
********quote*****
Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid.
*****endquote*****

Wha...Huh...Hmm? The malware wasn't in the grid itself - just the front lines of a company that manages the grid? Whew! I guess the Russian hackers didn't have such malevolent intentions after all.

What a hoot! PJ defending his Fake News Headline. The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming! "Emergency! Everybody to get from street! "

Fake News? Is that what you're calling the Russian Hacking ? A new low- even for ALanLeroy.

I'm happy to defend our free press, FBI, and CIA....and their conclusions about Russian infiltration into our info-sphere. And You can keep waving your pom-poms for the budding bro-mance between Vladimir Putin and the person who will be our next president. I bet if you send Donald a compliment on Twitter he might invite you to the wedding.

lol..PJ can no longer tell Fake Headlines from Reality. Here let me help.

PJ Posted a Link with the Headline "the Russians are putting malware into our electrical grid". He got that headline from the Washington Post. Well it turns out the Russians did not 'put malware into our electrical grid'.

There was a laptop NOT CONNECTED TO THE GRID that was infected with Russian malware. That was a false and misleading headline. It's a Fake News Headline...because...wait for it.....IT INACCURATELY ACCUSED RUSSIA OF PUTTING MALWARE ONTO OUR ELECTRICAL GRID.

Well the embarrassed WAPO has since retracted that headline with the following explanation: "An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid. "

Of course PJ shows no such embarrassment or retraction. I guess he doesn't understand the difference between inserting malware into the grid and infecting a laptop not on the grid. I'll give him a hint....There is malware on millions of laptops not connected to the electrical grid. PJ must be terrified.

I imagine if PJ really understood how many Governments including the good ole USA attempt to probe the infrastructure of their adversaries he would be shaking in his loafers. Now if PJ wants an example of a Nation/State actually infecting and destroying another country's infrastructure....I've got one word for him...Stuxnet.

Ooooh..good one! ..they said "Electircal grid"....when really it ws "electrical company"..
Slam dunk, ALanLeroy! Wave your tomahawk and dance around the camp fire over that massive, nitpick victory you had on the internet. Hooray for you and all of America.

So to clarify the "Fake News Headline"....the Russians did not get into the electrical grid....just a US company that controls the electrical grid. And so then no big deal? Nothing to see here? No malevolent actions occurring? Not from Russia anyway - the big travesty is the paper said "electrical grid" instead of "electrical company".

Send Trump a complimentary tweet, Alan...maybe he'll offer you a job.

DonDiego judges his culinary skills to be inadequate to justify an invitation to the President of Russia.
And DonDiego would prefer to be included in the tour of Area 51, anyway.

I just learned from the Washington Post that Tom Brady of the New England Patriots has died. He was taken from the Patriots practice facility by ambulance to Massachusetts General Hospital, being pronounced DOA. Oh, it turns out that Brady is, in fact not dead. He instead bumped his shin in practice, and subsequently navigated his car past Massachusetts General Hospital during his drive home.

Hell, we're just splitting hairs. PJ reports that Tom only threw 3 TD's today.

Having worked in the IT industry, laptop computers are infected everyday with Malware. Despite all the latest protections, this typically still happens when some idiot (like someone in the DNC) clicks on a link that sounds interesting (i.e. Big Boobs) and infects their computer. Many of these malware strains are developed in countries infamous for credit card and identity fraud including Russia. Reporting this as a hack of the electric grid is either idiotic or propaganda.....or both. Either way, it is FAKENEWS from an organization with rapidly shrinking credability.
