The Lights are On, but Nobody's Home

Elise at After School Snack calls our attention to a very interesting blog entry by NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams that mentions how the New Orleans warehouse district had its power switched on just in time for last night's dog and pony show: "The motorcade route through the district was partially lit no more than 30 minutes before POTUS drove through. And yet last night, no more than an hour after the President departed, the lights went out. The entire area was plunged into total darkness again, to audible groans. It's enough to make some of the folks here who witnessed it... jump to certain conclusions." Oh, surely it's all coincidence! You know, like Turdblossom being put in charge of reconstruction and Halliburton getting a no-bid contract on the cleanup (as well as how the original article on same can no longer be found at the Houston Chronicle)...
