I still say Homer SImpson fell asleep and his head hit the wrong button.
I think that this is absolutely terrorism. How the hell can one stupid failure kill the power for 5 states and 2 canadian provinces??? We have failsafes to take care of this. Then they had this \"lightning \" theory. Then on channel 2 they show the satellite picture of the cloud cover at Niagra Falls. THERE WASN'T A SINGLE CLOUD ALL DAY!!!
I don't trust it. How can you fix a problem where you re not sure what even happened in the first place? Than they say that they're not certain of the cause, but they know its not terrorism. Well, how the fuckteets do you know that? It's all a massive coverup so that we don't worry. I can't wait to hear the story they come up with next, fuck, the canadian prime minister and defense department are blaming two separate things, and both insist that they are right. Un-cunting-believable.
You must be from Buffalo, what do you think the old Mayor of Buffalo would say in a crisis like this?
"Just grab a six pack of beer and stay home!" (Remember his Blizzard of '77 advice?)

The first 90+ day in August, humidity through the roof.... power grid overload doesn't shock me.
As I heard it explained, the fuck-up on the grid caused the local power stations to shut down.
At first I was thinking terrorism too, but think about it for a second here....
We just invaded the fuck out of Iraq. Uprooted their government. Our government is so fucking high on terrorism that we're getting a contact buzz. If there was even a tiny hint that this was terrorism, they'd jump all over that shit..... it helps to justify their controversial Iraq actions, and kicks up the terrorism rush.
Sorry, I just don't think so this time.

woo-hoo!! i got power back at 1am..
but it took my wife 5 hours to get from mid-town, to the ferry, and over to the port imperial terminal.
but it took us only 30 minutes to get home, when it usually takes us 45 minutes!
then had to be in early for work at 7am..
