I could care less about Jesse Jackson fathering a child out of wedlock, I really could. I care about the child of course...but in the grand scheme of things who gives a fly flip about this kind of thing?

Blackouts in California, on the other hand, are interesting. Welcome to the third world amigos...see, this is what happens when you don't pay your bills--on a grand scale. All in all it sound like a grand excuse for a block party. I remember blackouts when I was growing up, usually during thunderstorms. The power would go out and everyone would end up on their front porches (yes, I come from a place where 99% of the houses have a real front porch where you can sit and everything). I miss that...other things I don't miss so much.
