GOVERNOR DAVIS ANNOUNCES THE POWER OUTAGES ON THE EAST COAST POSE NO THREAT TO THE CALIFORNIA POWER GRID 08/14/2003

SACRAMENTO

Governor Gray Davis made the following statement today regarding the power outages on the East Coast:

"My office has been briefed by the CAL ISO, and we have been assured the California electrical grid is not at risk. I have ordered the CHP, the Office of Homeland Security, and the National Guard to take all necessary actions to ensure California's electrical grid continues to function effectively. According to the ISO, we face no such dangers in California. Because we have added 6,000 MW of new power in the past three years, we are not vulnerable if one major power plant goes out of service. Other than airline delays because of the closure of airports in several cities, we do not expect Californians to be affected by this power outage."

Boy, there's like a million jokes you can come up with here,

[Brad’s Gramma]

Shut up. Just shut up.

You are SUCH A LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOVERNOR DAVIS ANNOUNCES THE POWER OUTAGES ON THE EAST COAST POSE NO THREAT HERE.

Duh! I'm sure everybody in California feels a sense of relief knowing the Governor is on the job protecting them from East Coast blackouts. Did I detect a little air of smug superiority in his message?

[witnesstothefall]

His eminence has finally found a crisis he could solve singlehandedly.

[Cicero]

Reminds me of King Canute standing on the beach and ordering the tide not to come in.

[dr_who_2]

Yes, remind the voters of the California power crisis. That'll help your poll numbers!!

[yield 2 the right]

Be careful on Oct 7th! Stock up now!

Sarcasm Off

[martin_fierro]

Betcha Clintoon told him to say that.

*snif* What's that smell? IRRELEVANCE!

"I have ordered the CHP, the Office of Homeland Security, and the National Guard to take all necessary actions to ensure California's electrical grid continues to function effectively."

Translation - "I'm using this as an excuse to give them more money so they will vote for me. This overtime will cause billions of dollars deficit. It's all Bush's fault - any wonder he was in CA and not in NY when it happened ? Why didn't he fly back there immediately ? He didn't light a single candle for an old person, or to allow a child to do their homework ! "

Even so, load exceeded on-line capacity in California today:

[RightOnline]

You've simply GOT to be shi**in' me.................

[JoeSchem]

Wasn't me, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything!

[coloradan]

Grayout probably wanted to see what it felt like to speak during a power crisis that wasn't of his own doing, and that didn't directly affect his voting base.

[Zathras]

I feel so much better knowing Gov. Doofus is on the job.

[E=MC²]

Rumor has it that davis cornered the market on 'D' (D is for demonrat) cell batteries and will not hesitate to plug them all into the Cali grid at once if the need arises.

[John Jorsett]

Translation: "Even my monumental incompetence can't make this into a problem for California."

[Joaquin]

What a relief it is to know that WAY DEVIOUS is right on top of the problem. I'll surely sleep better, tonight. In a local Sacramento radio interview today, an official of the CAL ISO stated that the western power grid is not physically connected to the eastern power grid. It looks like Mr. Devious will be trying to take credit for anything that goes right. Makes me want to barf...

[tubebender]

I dare you to prove him wrong by sticking your finger in a light socket and shorting out the system...
