Reporter says Canadians saying now it started at a nuclear plant in PA.

That's about the fifth reported cause....

Hey, what are the odds that a power outage with NO DISCERNIBLE CAUSE would happen as the president was en route to a FUUNDRAISER in California, home of the fabled Grayout Davis and that miraculously, Hillary Cliton, Bill Richardson, and Gray Davis would all be available to comment to CNN and MSNBC and would talk about how THEY wanted to improve the infrastructure and ENRON caused part of this?

And that Drudge would immediately start carping about the President being in California at a fundraiser? And that Pataki, who is Governor of the most-affected state, would get 5 minutes, followed by the Terrible Trio for the rest of the hour?

I wonder if their story was going to be lightning, and Chretien jumped the gun (he's in on it too as far as I'm concerned) but now they are having to cover up their story because there was no lighning.

Well, this sounds remarkably tin-foilish, but I sure do wonder if rather than a squirrel in a transformer it was a RAT that caused the outage.

Now I am leaving the Twilight Zone, but I am still suspicious...
