just a word on what's now being called the 'great blackout of 2003'...

it looks like the blame is going to be placed on...deregulation of the power industry!

okay...here comes my gripe....for years in California we have been putting up with the strains that our demands for energy have placed on the 'antiquated power grid'...rolling blackouts and brownouts every time the mercury goes over 100 for any length of time...things got so bad after deregulation, a few years ago, gray davis was forced to buy electricity at extemely overinflated prices because of this very problem....

so, what's the difference between the blackouts back east and blackouts in california???

with the 'great blackout of 2003' it is okay to blame deregulation, but with california, blackouts are blamed on gray davis....

which brings us back to recall....or total recall, as the case may be...

it turns out that ahnuld has been nursing his political fantasies for over 25 years! you can't fault the guy for lack of ambition. but what scares me is that people actually praise his manipulation abilities....

in other words, he's got the makings of a slimeball.

so if Arnold is the 'perfect politician', then we can say 'hasta la vista baby!" to gray davis...

however, what is arnold going to do when the next blackout hits california???? will he be able to 'terminate' the contracts davis signed with the power generators??? good luck arnie....
