"In a freak occurance, much of Los Angelos fell into darkness today as a temporary power outage fell over the city.
"Early reports blame the outage on an experimental electric generating plant in use which obtains electricity via the energy of the collective consciousness of the city harnessed into hatred for President Bush and his administrations.
"Speculaton centers on the resignation of FEMA director Brown. This is the first time that the direct object of the plant's focus of anger has been fulfilled. It is thought that this brought a momentary calm amongst the liberals in the city. The loss of anger energy may have overloaded the city's distribution system.
"Power was slowly being restored as the liberal anger was refocused to Judge Roberts, whose Supreme Court Nomination hearings started today.
"Local officials promised to find a republican to blame for the failure to provide backup power in case Robert's quiet demeanor makes it impossible to evoke sufficient hatred to make up for the lost power.
"'In the future, we will make sure to always have at least TWO attacks running at all times against Bush, to ensure that power can be maintained during disasters like the Brown Resignation', a local official was quoted as saying.
This seems to be just local to DWP, power is coming back on in many areas.... DWP spokeswoman on several TV stations, but really didn't have much detail .
Or that L.A.'s power planners allowed ONE line to control that large an area?
Hey, I'm from Michigan. The Detroiters wait until its dark. ;)
It's probably that Solar activity, or incompetence, but I'm sure Al-Kiddah, or El-Kabong, or whatever that bunch of sand goblins is that threatened us and Australia will come out of the woodwork and claim "another Death Blow at the Great Satan has been struck!"
Ha! Was it an EMP that cause the power failure?
Right there's your problem. Power n' water don't mix.
Im glad I was wrong about that. Power is coming back in some areas of the city.
Thank You, Lord.
-U.
Never mind- "expert" on FNC now says L.A's power grid is designed to protect itself - so when something goes wrong somewhere, other parts of the grid will shut themselves off to prevent more problems./overloads... (hope I quoted that right)
I hear the butterflies out there have darn big wings to flap...
ROFL!!!
DWP just said, DWP workman cut a cable and the shutdown was proactive....whatever that means.
local cell towers "all circuits busy".

LA DPW accidentially cut a power line... or so it's reported
#113.
72 degress and beautiful here in my part of Southern California. No problem with power here.
If so, power should be restored before too long.
Where is Mr. Energy (Gray Davis) when we need him?
The President just named a new FEMA Director! --source TV
We will now get back to our regularly scheduled crisis...
