Day #9 of Blackout of '08

The Cincinnati Blackout of '08 is on its ninth day now - and now the power company is telling us to expect it to go on literally forever.

On the Sunday the outage started, the energy company promised to have all service restored within a week. Well, guess what? It's been over a week, and thousands still lack power.

Now a power company spokesperson says the blackout will continue until the end of time. She said that while thousands are still in the dark, "we won't ever be down to zero, because we continue to have outages that are storm-related."

Ever???

Yes, she said that. She said the dry wind that concluded over a week ago is still knocking out power somehow.

We must have a really weak electricity infrastructure if a storm that's been over for a week can still cut off power.
