A member of Arizona's top government utilities agency threw down the gauntlet in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, threatening to cut off the city's power supply as retribution for the city's boycott of Arizona.

If Los Angeles wants to boycott Arizona, it had better get used to reading by candlelight.

That's the message from a member of Arizona's top government utilities agency, who threw down the gauntlet Tuesday in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa by threatening to cut off the city's power supply as retribution.

L.A. probably has no stomach for playing hardball -- especially if Arizona pulls the plug just when the first heat wave of the season hits.

Do it! Adopt the federal position of “We do not negotiate with terrorists.”

I’d say the LA City Council qualifies.

Remember what happened the last time the lights went out in LA? Yeah, they'll be on their knees (sic) pretty quickly.

Oh please pull the plug on California. They are so full of themselves that somebody has to teach them some humility.

I doubt it would really happen, but it really “captures the imagination.”

Love it.

Back off if you want to stay cool and hydrated.

He didn't really threaten. He merely said if they are serious about boycotting, that should include the 25% of the power they get from Arizona.

I think he did a great thing and I'm proud of him. I also wish he had mentioned the contracts to take in their prisoners and their garbage. LA should cancel those contracts while they are at it too. We'll be glad to bring their prisoners to the border and drop them off.

Ah, I hope that is streamed via the web. We need a few good laughs.

This demonstrates that LA is like a spoiled child and never grew up. The crybabies boycott if they don’t get their way. Boohoo! Mommy will help you. And who is Mommy? King Obama and his merry men of communists troops. Weeeeee! What a Country? Shi! for brains.

Serious Unintended Consequences are rare in the real world.

In the Liberal, "Progressive" world, it is endemic.

Why?
Because it is presently driven by the most ignorant, stuck-on-stupid elected legislatures in history; from the Federal, down to the local.

Egalitarianism at work.

Oh yes, incidentally, the pumps which drive the LA water system pumping water from Arizona, are powered by Arizona-generated power.

Wanna play hardball, LA and San Diego?

Payback is a *itch!

Did not Az and California have a water stand off in the 30’s that almost brought on a shooting war between the state N. Guards?? Maybe the Boycottinator can lead the charge this time.

I haven’t enjoyed smiling this much since getting the following email!

FROM THE CDC:

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘em,” and it is a terrible obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It’s sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New Jersey , and apparently now Massachusetts , with many more seeing the writing on the wall.

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

Gives a whole new meaning to the “commerce clause” and “boycott”
