Next story, mass looting in LA and riots. Bush caused the blackout and the riots.

People appear to be behaving themselves.  The Studio dumped a few times, but the Data Center appears to be OK.  

LAPD is on Tac Alert, but all that really means is that overtime is permitted.  

No looting, riots or anything else I can see..

I'll find out during the go-home commute...

You're racist!  Racist!  I'm telling Jesse Jackson!  You and Bush hate brown people!

RACIST!

Racist.

The hurricane was partially your fault too.  You and Bush cooked it up to kill poor black people.

Turned out to be a worker's goof. Someone cut a control line straight across without snipping individual electrodes, signalled a short, system shut itself down to avoid cascade failures.
