...are as accurate as the hysteria the media created and continue to fan about Tropical Punch Irene. I'm posting from Starbucks. Tomorrow's column may be a bit late.
Here's something I submitted to the Vagina-Pilot this morning:
"After days of media manufactured hysteria, Irene was a tropical storm at worst by the time she reached Hampton Roads. Yet Irene caused our three-ring power company to leave upwards of a half-million of us in the dark for extended periods. My densely populated Virginia Beach neighborhood was without power until the wee hours of Monday morning.
"You’re doing a heck of a job, Dominion. Will a single head roll over our power giant’s dismal failure during a weather event that should barely have stressed it? Probably not. The exec responsible for this fiasco is no doubt the same character who’s in charge of implementing our next rate hike.
"There is, of course, plenty of shame to go around in Irene’s wake. As of sunrise on Monday, Cox Communication still hadn’t restored communication to my neighborhood.
"Don’t you just love monopolies?"
