Brownout

This afternoon's Los Angeles power outage, caused by an accidentally severed power cable, reached as far as Burbank, 20 minutes from where I live, but did not affect my area.

Good thing Mike Brown doesn't run the LA Department of Water and Power, or we'd all have wound up huddled for weeks in the dark in Staples Center.

Brown of Arabia

Q: Now that Mike Brown, former head of the Arabian Horse Association and slinger of horseshit, has been forced to resign as FEMA honcho, what would be appropriate as his next position?

A: Riding shotgun on horseback for Humvees in Iraq, so as to detect roadside improvised explosive devices.
