A story from Instapundit<\/a> yesterday:<\/p>\n

SO A FRIEND HAD A WEIRD EXPERIENCE LAST WEEK \u2014 her car was struck by lightning on the Interstate. All the electronics were fried, they managed to coast to the side of the road, and then they couldn\u2019t get out because the door locks and windows were frozen. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A story from the television news<\/a> yesterday:<\/p>\n

A motorcyclist riding on Interstate 5 survived a lightning strike Thursday as a tumultuous day of weather saw thunderstorms and rain roll through Washington on both sides of the Cascade Mountains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is this a coincidence or is the government testing its lightning drones on American citizens?<\/em><\/p>\n

I was going to embed a tweet here that was something like this:<\/p>\n

“The government is listening to your phone calls, reading your emails, and cracking your encryption.” – a crazy person one year ago<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But that tweet has disappeared.<\/em> Or I can’t find it again. Which is the same thing.<\/em> (Conspiracy theory style note: italics are important!)<\/p>\n

Frankly, I’m only bringing this to your attention because it’s been a little dry around here lately, and my gardens could use the rain that would come with my lightning strike.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/font> Edward Snowden just emailed me this NSA internal video:<\/p>\n
