Brown's replacement even if he hasn't been named yet should RESIGN NOW!

[NCLaw441]

Hey, no laughing. This is series stuff. Surely FEMA is there, tending to the sick, dying and unlit.

"Shhhhhh! The bank said to keep that a SECRET! . . . . They were very specific."

[higgmeister]

Someone mentioned a couple of power surges just before the power dropped. I wonder if this has something to do with the massive solar activity they were talking about a couple of days ago. Did that already hit us?

There is virtually no way a Solar Flare could affect our
power distribution, but nobody would have believed that
lighting strikes could destroy buried fiber-optic cable
until it happened either.

LOL :)

Where's Greyhound??

As we speak, the Mayor of Los Angeles is passing out these cards!

Cute! :)

[StJulian Perlmutter]

The Po-Po has already set their mega-beeber like device to stune in anticipation of the moose attack...

[AmishDude]

Santa Monica's still got power.

Oops, Rove should be told.

[ravingnutter]

Brown-out?

They can't blame him again, he resigned already.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Well, Al Qeada did say that L.A. was next.

"In Nagin speak.. where the hell is FEMA! Haven't them fricken slackers gotten here yet!?"

Haven't you heard? Sen. Landrieu says it's hard to get govt workers to show up, even when it's a sunny day.

[evolved_rage]

I guess its time for Bush to blow up the Levees in L.A., to start the drownings.

[paws_and_whiskers]

Quick, send generators! Where's the National Guard?

Has Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton appeared on camera to declare that poor people can't possibly afford generators? What's FEMA going to do about this? Where's the President during this crisis?

[andyk]

I'm lost here, can someone interpret?

You'll have to ask Snoop Dog, ma nizzle.

[spectre]

And I'm putting in my request for a Rolex watch...with a diamond bezel please..

We can't have an emergency here without Burbank Karl! But he must have no power.

Long Beach has power.
