Blackout in South Florida
I thought that President Bush as going to fix the electrical grid? What happened to that plan? I’m guessing that someone got rich and we got the shaf$.
Please note in the story below that the writers of this story go out of their way not to blame the nuclear plant for any of these problems. I find that kind of interesting.

I can’t resist this. Florida’s state motto for a day: “Where’s the Outage?”
Not that they couldn’t tell, of course.
Oh, a punny! Where’s Moe, Curly and Larry when you need ‘em!
