Sharp Dressed Man here saying, "Now that Betchel has been awarded the contract to rebuild Iraqi power, PG&E should win a contract to manage Iraq's electricity once its up and running again."

After decades of mismanagement by the Baath socialists, its time to bring free market principles to Iraqi power by having PG&E run it. I hope Bush awards PG&E the contract so I can enjoy listening to you public power socialists complain about it.

Go belly up fairly recently?

Or was that SoCalEd?

Or both?

It's hard to recall, 'cuz here in the area served by socialist public power, not only were there NO rolling blackouts or other disruptions, but DWP made millions selling our extra power to dumbshit wastrels like PG &E.

We also got some good laughs watching the deregulation scheme the private utilities paid the politicians for turn around and bite them in the ass.

Nothing like watching the private power capitalists whine.

Yeah you moron, deregulation is why the power crisis happened. Like Under Construction said, the city of LA was one of the only places in the state saved from the price gouging and blackouts.

If PG&E gets the contract, you dont have to listen us us complain, you can listen to the Iraqi people "whine" about getting screwed like deregulated California (except for publicly owned LA city) did.
