#2 I'm dying to hear the excuse of the actual person responsible for the sub-station's maintenance. He or she gets up everyday with the sole purpose of keeping that network primed, running efficiently and reporting problems. Ohh boy I can't wait for the 'blackbox' paper work to be revealed! Here comes..."But it was an unmanned facility!".

#4 As usual, the title is unsupported by the article. FOUR units, two nukes and two coalies, went offline.

#5 What's ironic about this is that this nuke plant was planning on expanding soon (at least 1 more reactor). Guess the "greenies" will keep that from happening, even though the plant shut down as it was supposed to, w/o any releases.

And, the other ironic thing is, this very plant was just featured in an episode of CSI-Miami as a terror target. Of course, it was a rerun, so I don't think it's "coincidence".

#6 And, Frank, think of the chaos of the combination of being stuck in an elevator with NO Starbucks to boot!

Oh, the humanity.

Funny thing is, the article a buddy of mine sent me was written about all the chaos going on in Miami-Dade (a few accidents b/c of traffic lights out, schools shut down w/ parents rushing around to pick up kids, etc.), and then cut to interview some metrosexual in Boca Raton at the mall, saying "It is romantic" to eat at the food court w/o lights. What a trip.

#7 I'd rather be stuck without having had a grande mocha latte-extrahot piss-in-your-pants big ol' cup of discomfort (I guess you could refill the cup in the dark, huh?)

#8 They better get that shit up and running before November. Those clowns have a hard enough time voting as it is.

#9 btw - Fox showed the So. Floridians' traffic manners. No wonder weapons are often displayed. The most ignorant, uninformed traffic manners I've ever seen...but I've never been in NY, so maybe I'm naive

#10 Yeah, there was a clip on NBC which showed two lanes of traffic in an intersection bisecting four lanes headed the other way. Real eye-popper: how'd that happen??

#11 Frank G, they got nothing on the A-Holes that drive the beltway around DC, especially the Maryland side.
