Did we happen to outsource those software systems to Indian programmers? Good question. We've managed in a short time to become completely dependent on foreign countries.

I was watching NBC a few minutes ago. Pretty Boy Williams cuts to Ashleigh Banfield to get the "countdown to sundown" report. There was no sound except some woman was heard saying "I'll be home soon. Fox is now showing regular news". Ashleigh's voice then came up.
Too funny.

If the US power grid is connected to Canada, will terrorists using Canada as an entry to the US decide to hit the grid in Canada to take out parts of the US?
Less secure in Canada and an even softer target?

Thanks for the solid info. Would they attempt a startup using standby diesels, or wait for outside power?

See my tag line lol. I've been following this thread all afternoon at work but couldn't post. I'm sorry but I don't trust any of them (gov. or media).

And it is not likely that most of the people who are affected will have the opportunity to hear or see him speak. Or even know he is going to speak.

The NY chart hasn't been updated for several hours. How often is it usually?
