	L.A.: In the dark... Get a bigger avatar today!

Yesterday, al Qaeda made threats against LA.

Today at lunch, a massive power failure hit. I heard it stretched from the San Fernando Valley to San Pedro...which is pretty much to whole darn city.

Lots of people are jumpy because of the threat.

But this isn't al Qaeda's style. As far as I've heard, there's been no massive numbers of pointless deaths anywhere. I did see paramedics treating a woman for a boo-boo on her knee, but that's about it.

My best guess: Somewhere the flash-fried carcass of rat lies at the bottom of a transformer.

I think it's an empty threat .Why? LA is not a good target. One of the worst targets in the whole US. It's either just scaremongering, or chewbacca tactics.

energy trading is a greater threat to LA than al Qaeda

Ahh yes, thank you my friend, that was the word I was looking for.

Why do I feel more and more like Inspector Clouseau day by day? My English gets worse, and I'm more clumsy and .. generally more .. imbesil?

I dunno. Hollywood is the origin for American's McCulture.

And where are you going to cause damage exactly? No, it sucks as a target.

It's derived from the Chewbacca defense.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_defense

quote: Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen this [pointing to a picture of Chewbacca] is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! (Background: Damnit! What? He's using the Chewbacca defense!) Why would a Wookiee—an eight foot tall Wookiee—want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself, what does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense. If Chewbacca lived on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

I have close to LA, and everthing is fine. People that I know that live in LA told me that the power was only off for about 20 to 30 minutes for them. Power is already starting to be restored to the city. The only real thing that I saw that it affected was that since the power went out it messed up all the traffic lights and many are now 4 way stops. Thus creating some traffic jams. Other than that everything is fine where I am at.
