Do you speak any language that non-gibbering idiots can understand? Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction.

As I said, why don't yo post some links to support your claims. Otherwise, I don't find much value in the ranting.

I do not belive that Gray Davis was responsible for getting ripped off (not any more than the Clinton Administration). I understand he did what he did, and accept it. Your problem, is that you need make Gray Davis ignorant, so that you can absolve the Clinton Administration from their role in the crisis. This much is clear. The Clinton Administration was aware of the California Energy Crisis, and they: 1. Didn't do enough. 2. Allowed what was then, a serious problem, to develop into a crisis. American Spirit, what did the Clinton Administration do about the Western Energy crisis during the summer and fall of 2000, when California was asking the Clinton Administration for relief. Why did the Clinton Administration ignore the pleas of California's Democratic Governor, and California's Democratic Sentator. "SACRAMENTO—Governor Gray Davis today called on federal and state regulators to take swift action to extend the caps on wholesale electric rates in California and provide San Diego ratepayers with millions of dollars in refunds" - Release, Gray Davis July 27, 2000 "Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to place an emergency order capping the price electricity generators can offer to the California Power Exchange. In a letter to FERC Chairman James Hoecker, Senator Feinstein wrote: “Deregulation in Southern California has resulted in electricity rates that have doubled for some residents and tripled for some businesses. I believe that FERC must work to ensure that California be allowed to successfully transition into open markets until such time as when true competition exists and California has an ample energy supply. This order would help to stabilize prices, ensure reliability and also answer the question of whether such price caps drive energy out of the state...." - August 7, 2000 "San Francisco - U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to place a region-wide cap on wholesale electricity rates for the Western States. “As is clearly evident, the energy market in San Diego is not functioning, at this time, as a true market. The lack of energy generation has produced a dramatic increase in electricity prices with many families and businesses facing energy bills two or three times higher than normal and has led to the possibility of wholesale price gouging,” Senator Feinstein said in a letter to FERC Chairman James J. Hoecker..."- Press Release, Dianne Feinstein, Aug 23, 2000 BTW, James Hoecker is a Democrat and was a Clinton Appointee.
