1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I'm sure those meetings that Ah-nold had with Enron had nothing - NOTHING!! - to do with the rolling blackouts.

3. Ahh-nold has doner nothing to fix the problem...
And it was Enron, a PRIVATE COMPANY, responsible for the initial problem. Greed and bribery... on both sides.

2. Er... Actually the deregulation thing was started by Pete Wilson
The fact is, Gray did his best to keep the lights on by paying ransom to all those crooks like Enron and Duke, otherwise it would have been chaos.

4. Apparently, Enron didn't have a fucking thing to do with it.
What a bunch of maroons.

6. Well then,

7. Still can't take reponsibility.
What a bunch of babies.

Their boy's been in office for years and hasn't done SHIT to fix the problem ...... which by the way was started when PETE WILSON de-regulated the industry.

9. From the Clenis to... the Denis?
Actually, if you must know, it's Emperor Norton I who's to blame for the blackouts :sarcasm:

10. Anobody see Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room?

"Burn baby burn"

An actual quote from the transcript of one of Enron's energy traders over the phone, when the California wildfires were out of control, and threatening the power supply.

They apparantly still sleep at night...

19. on top of which enron was idling or shutting down
power plants they had direct control over forcing shortages that then had to go to to the grid to be made up & then, like spiders on a web, charged for in excess for the same kilos they were charging elsewhere.

oh sure, they sleep at night...in an antique fucking coffin on top of a withered handful of dirt from their unnatural realm :thumbsdown: fuck enron & the texan that made them more than possible.

this is all stuff your common, simple minded lop-eared bunny of a freeper is not capable of understanding

14. it's grandma millie's fault..
"They're fucking taking all the money back from you guys?" complains an Enron employee on the tapes. "All the money you guys stole from those poor grandmothers in California?"

"Yeah, grandma Millie, man"

"Yeah, now she wants her fucking money back for all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her asshole for fucking $250 a megawatt hour."

Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 02:57 PM by sakabatou
And isn't the Govanator the man in charge now? Unless Davis is working in the power station, how could this be? :sarcasm:
