Power’s out in the whole northeast world, which, when I heard it, made me really nervous. I thought they were supposed to get better about this kind of thing! But then they say in the same article repeatedly that it’s not terrorism. So it’s one of two things:

  • It’s really a power grid screwup, not terrorism.
  • It’s terrorism, they just don’t want to cause a panic.

If it’s the first, I feel perfectly justified in posting this; if it’s the second, I will pretend I’m aiding the effort to keep things calm by relieving the tension with humor.

I mean, it’s big. It’s not terrorists. That really leaves only one possibility, you know?

Supervillains.
