"My fellow Americans. It was a shocking day for us all. CIA and FBI sources have now confirmed that, in association with Al Quieda terrorists, Iraqui military, and any one else I feel will make a good "enemy of the month," our Lord in heaven struck at our great country today with a bolt of lightening. I know this scares many people but believe that your leaders are working around the clock to deal with this holy threat to our freedom. God, having joined the Axis of Evil, will soon learn that he may take our electricty, but he'll never take our power."

Why do I get the feeling he would consider saying that? Something along the lines of "God has gone the way of the French so we should make war on Heaven."

I live in Utah, and I can tell you that "blow job" isn't that bad a word compared to other words, like "Fuck" or "God Damn," according to Mormons. That's because it does't count as having "sex" nor is it using the Lord's name in vain. Sorry that "Blow Job" is painful to you, I won't say it again, I'm really sorry.

``We're the world's greatest superpower, but we have a Third World electricity grid,'' said former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, now governor of New Mexico.

William Museler, president of the New York Independent System Operator, which manages the state's electric grid, said ``huge'' power fluctuations originating from a Midwest power plant started the downfall of the grid at 4:11 p.m. Thursday. He said the power swings became so large that the Ontario system could not sustain them, and the problem migrated to New York.

As the power fluctuated, generators in New York tripped off to protect themselves, an act of self-preservation that made it possible to restore power Friday morning, Museler said.

In Vermont, a quick shutdown of power fees from New York helped the state avoid major outages.

After the 1965 blackout hit the Northeast, the industry sought to put in safeguards that would isolate future transmission problems. In some cases this worked.

Michehl Gent, the NERC president, said he was fairly confident terrorism wasn't involved. Federal officials earlier said there is no evidence of terrorism.

``We don't have any indication of blown-up equipment,'' he said on ABC's ``Good Morning America.'' ``So, we're almost certain it's not terrorism of any kind.''
