Stories out of the Darkness Hillary: Power Grid Became Antiquated Last Year (2003-08-15) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NYArk, said today that the electrical power grid in America "suddenly became antiquated early last year, and George Bush hasn't done a thing about it." "When my husband was in office, the power grid was like new," said Sen. Clinton . "But right after he left, the grid got all rusty and decayed...like some form of mechanical progeria. But President Bush was so distracted by the war on Iraq that he has tragically inconvenienced 50 million people." The Senator said she will introduce a bill today nationalizing the electricity industry, and putting it under the control of Morgan Freeman, who was a prominent member of the 1970s PBS children's show The Electric Company. Neighbors Attempt Rescue of Electric-Car Owner (2003-08-15) -- In one of the more poignant episodes resulting from the multi-state power outage, this morning neighbors of a suburban Detroit man attempted to rescue the owner of an electric car. "He was just sitting there in the driveway, staring," said one concerned neighbor. "We tried to help. We offered him rides in our SUVs but he just screamed something about global warming and George Bush and Iraq." Apparently, the electric-car owner normally recharges his vehicle overnight. "This blackout is obviously a Bush administration plot to slow the booming sales of electric cars," the vehicle owner said. "Dick Cheney is doing this for his buddies at Halliburton. Well, those neocons are not going to get me. I would rather die than burn fossil fuel in my car. scrappleface.com
