This was my favorite part: Despite the near blackouts, San Jose mayoral spokesman David Vossbrink said it didn't change the city's objection to Calpine Corp.'s proposed 600-megawatt power plant in Coyote Valley. Instead of pushing for such plants, ``it's important for everyone to conserve what they can in light of the power emergency,'' Vossbrink added. And pray to the energy fairies too, but they better bring their own lights.

THE BIG LIE. Guys/ gals I apologize for posting political reviews here, but I woke up to a line in the morning newspaper that needs to be pointed out to folks on the Thread. David Boies, Mssr. Gore's attorney keeps trying to present the illusion of the inevitabliity of Mssr. Gore's victory. He speculates that: "if the counting were to go forward it looks like Vice President Gore and Lieberman would win the popular vote in Florida, etc., etc." This is the "big lie", similar for e.g., to the lie in WWI that Jews backstabbed Germany and caused Germany to lose WWI. It is corrosive, it is evil, it is an outright lie, and meant to roil the political waters in the U.S.. Terry Lewis, The Trial Judge has issued a gag order on all comments on the recount. Yet, Mssr. Boies feels free to ignore the court's orders and speaks when he feels like it, when it's convenient to his cause. The reality of Mssr. Gore's postion is that his effort is a huge gamble- NOONE knows who would win a selected recount of the overvote, or 42,000 of the 6,000,000 votes cast or 3/4 of 1% of the total vote cast. It's a "turkey shoot". Shades of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus in ancient Rome- No principles, no honor, just the pure hunger, raw greed for power, no concern to the damage and divisivness of their activities- Anything goes to implement my particular political position....
