I Just want to commend the firefighters. Our power went out and not four minutes later we heard sirens. That was an amazingly fast response time! Thank you Pleasanton firefighters!

A bird caused it? What kind of a bird? Like a loon maybe? Like one of the many liberal loons that fly over our city and drop there ecsrament onto patriotic P-towners?

Power outage? What about power outRage? We have a president rolling dice out in back of the White House with Eric Holder and his zuit suit wearing gun giving away friends and if he gets a second term theirs bound to be a shark tank in the Green Room. Its all so disenguous. Fo power outages to make us sensitive to Al Gore's big house being threatened by the Sun. Wake up people. The global warming advocates are in our mist. A bird? Likely story!
