OK, when you read about the LA blackout, did you think "terrorists," OR
Republican power companies?

Guess which one I thought?

13. Same here...
I also thought "Ahnuld must have pulled the plug." :tinfoilhat:

Let's see how fast the "It's time to move on from Katrina. Remember the War on Terror!" meme starts up. If it spreads all over the Republican Noise Machine, we've probably witnessed this year's Reichstag Fire.

Because it was more interesting than some guy tripping over a wire.

9. I thought what a coincidence
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 05:02 PM by jim3775
There was a power interruption here too, during a thunderstorm.


Clearly it was an evil bush plot to use HAARP to cause the lightning and distract away from brown's resignation. /sarcasm

10. Are Republican power companies not terrorists within themselves?
If they commit crimes to such a degree, they are terrorists no matter what political party they belong to.

14. I thought, oh no, another crack in the facade.
We can't take care of our own people and we can't keep the power on anymore. What next? Famine? Disease?

You know, that horrible flu virus is out there still percolating. Wonder if we have enough Tamiflu stock piled? I kind of doubt it.

20. More smoke and mirrors to cover Bush's ass...Or just some typical
California Enron aftershocks. Either way, I'm beginning to believe American isn't the safest place to be any more. We have been shithammered here lately and Ophelia is knocking on my door. Dammit, I'm getting tired of this shitstorm. Just like the damn repukes to talk about accountability yet only hold us to that rule and not themselves.

Americans?"
