And some CA Dem party official was blaming Arnold for this on FNC.
It bites when the instructions are printed in English!;)
Duh! Come on, guys. Red is the positive, black is the negative. Sheesh! :=)
It sounds like they connected a transformer incorrectly.
Achmed, was that the green wire or the red wi....... KABOOM!!!
Power also was out in the L.A. harbor area.
I hate when that happens.
Was it completely dark? Was there any air conditioning?
Thats what you get with Union labor.
It's Bush's fault. ;)
It was horrible, a sweltering 71 degrees, and no AC for several minutes. Trafic lights were out, and several illegal aliens got lost, and ended up back in their own country.
OH, THE HUMANITY!
Ahhh yes --- first it was a lone workman who accidentally cut through a thick main power feeder cable.
That didn't fly -- especially with the multiple refinery explosions afterwards.
So now, a NEW TALE .....
What's for tomorrow? The Tooth Fairy (this IS california after all!) did it?
Given that this was LA, and that there was a terrorist threat against LA recently, I wonder if there weren't any, shall we say, incivility on the streets?
Wishful thinking on that last part there, would be nice if that were all it took to get 'em out.
"DWP: Workers Trigger Outage By Connecting Wrong Wires"
Outage, but no outrage at the local department? It must have been Bush's fault.
That was Bob Mulholland. I heard the dope too. Typical Democrat, always ready to point the finger. I got a particular kick out of his saying that there should be a back up system that kicks on whenever the power in these big cities goes out. Yeah, like that's really feasible. Hell, he'd have a heart attack if he lived here in Rome, New York. Just about every time there's a heavy rain storm, the power goes out...sometimes for 6-8 hours.
The media really went crazy with this outage, trying to make more of it than it was. I realize some goofus wannabe white Moslem made a threatening video about L.A., but jeeze! these media people went off the deep end on this one.
CNN, the "Cadaver News Network" was outraged at the outage. I thought Wolfie was going into one of his New Orleans mental meltdowns.
Good thing Shep or Whoraldo was not on the scene, tears would have been shed along with the electricity.
So, if you reverse the wires on a car horn will it suck instead of blow?
Oh come now - Fairy is such an offensive codeword. It's Dentally Obsessive Individual Seeking His or Her Own Orientation.
Geeze.
