*Ø* Blogmanac| Blackout plunges people into darkness!
By now you will probably have heard about the terrible blackout that is causing so much concern. You can't have missed it ... those people lucky enough to still be able to watch the broadcasts and cook their pop tarts will know what's happening.

So, to our readers in Somalia, we hope you will be back with us real soon! Look on the bright side: at least you'll get to see the stars for a change! Sorry you can't take any hot baths, though.

[Somalia is one of too many countries listed by the World Bank that have zero kilowatts per capita listed as their electricity consumption. Don't stick around at the World Bank site, though, as their solution is 'development', which, like 'globalization', is corporate capitalism speak for ... corporate capitalism.]
