Gov. James Douglas on Thursday urged Vermonters to save power to help avert rolling blackouts that could be needed because of electricity shortages in southern New England.
Douglas said the power shortage was caused by a shortage of natural gas used to power electric generating plants in southern New England.
Steve Costello, a spokesman for the Central Vermont Public Service Corp., said a number of plants that produce a total of 4,000 megawatts of electricity had been shut down because they were out of fuel.
How long before Rep. Waxman issues subpoenas to Enron and Ken Lay?

What country has large natural gas reserves?
We should invade them.
It’s all about the naturaaaaal gaaaaas!

Russia has the most natural gas. I HOPE we don’t invade them, unless we want half the country turned into a nuclear waster land.

WE don’t need to go as far as Russia. Canada has plenty of natural gas. Delenda Ottawa!

Further suggesting the lack of courage of convictions.
You should be emigrating, since if the Bushies are REALLY as hell-bent on both war and oil as y’all believe, then there’s really NOTHING that’ll prevent ’em from invading Canada, and possibly nothing to prevent ’em from invading Russia.

Bush won’t invade because Vermont is out of natural gas.
To paraphrase James Baker, “Fuck the northeast, they don’t vote for us.”

Oop. I thought you were paraphrasing Michael Moore, there.

The two states with lots of natural gas are Arkansas and Texas. Wait, why are we bothering with invading them?

Dear Congress Waxman,
My name is Karina Escobedo and I am in 8 grade at Lawrence Middle School in Chatswort,
California. I am writing to you today
about a policy here at my school that I am concerned about. The problem is that there is only one line that will give
change at nutrition and lunch.
There are more than 2,200 students at my school and the lines at the students store are very long,especially the one for change. If I do not have the right change and I don’t want to wait in the change line, I am forced to use my whole $1,$5,etc.
I feel that my rights are being violated and that this policy should be changed.
Sincerely,
Karina Escobedo
