It's the old "blame it on a squirrel" ploy.

How lame!!!

The squirrel fell on the power line

I'll bet Bullwinkle will miss his little buddy. Rocky must have misjudged his landing.

Was the culprit a white squirrel? Or a black one?

I don't understand why birds can land on a power line without being electrocuted and squirrels can't. Maybe I'm just stupid?

I believe this story.

You'd be amazed by how many electric utility outages/fires are caused by squirrels, cats, snakes, and rats getting into switch cabinets, overhead lines, and substations. No amount of critter-proofing is 100%.

We humans think we're so damned smart, but critters always seem to find a way around our gadgets and gizmoes.

Bush's fault. He should have prevented than squirrel from attacking.

Also, if it were not for global warming the poor squirrell would have had enough nuts saved up and wouldn't need to be on the power lines scrounging for food.

Not to mention the plight of homeless squirrels without national health insurance.

"It's the old "blame it on a squirrel" ploy."

It worked for Clinton and gave him a legacy that will live on in sex ed. classes for generations untold.

"when two boys dipped the reptiles in lighter fluid and set them on fire."

Jackrabbits are better. They can cover more ground in a shorter time.

"They're not sure how he got up there."

if they really said that,then I would guess they assume the sgurl was playing with matches as an option also....some people are just so incredibly stoopid.

Since the squirrel has rights does that mean his estate can be sued???
