Maybe if we take the tar balls and slag from coal mines and dump them on the Mall in DC, some of the people in Washington would understand what they think people should put up with in the name of “energy”.

Dreadful news, Bryan. I’m so awfully sorry….

Pirates, indeed.

In reply to Steve Bates.

If “best practices” had been used, this wouldn’t have happened, so what the hell good are they. They cost money that people aren’t willing to spend because it cuts into short term profits.

OT: Yeah, there have been a number of people complaining about it as I read the blogs this morning. Sounds like a node got whacked and they are in the process of redistributing the load.

Hmm, they now say they have fixed it.

Agreed. The only “safe” way to do this is not to do this. Too much is at risk, and greed (along with the nature of corporations) drives risky behavior.

BTW and OT, Google reports problems with Blogger in “isolated” areas. Mine is an “isolated” area; the blog is visible but I cannot post, and most of the time I cannot comment either. I always knew that someday, blogging would teach me patience…
