Breaking: large portion of LA without power
LAPD says terrorism is not suspected and this is just coincidence; nevertheless, the department is on full tactical alert …
UPDATE — Fixed; the Los Angeles Times explains:
The outage hit about 12:45 p.m. Lee Sapaden, a spokesman for the county’s Office of Emergency Management, said the massive power failure was caused after an employee “inadvertently cut a power cable” at a DWP substation in West L.A.
Why didn’t Bush get there when this was happening? Was it because LA has black people? Blame Karl Rove and Enron! Just joking!
