AP is reporting:

A large solar flare was reported Wednesday and forecasters warned of potential electrical and communications disruptions.

[...]

Significant solar eruptions are possible in the coming days and there could be disruptions in spacecraft operations, electric power systems, high frequency communications and low-frequency navigation systems, the agency said.

Obviously, President Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove cooked up this solar flare scheme to distract attention from Hurricane Katrina, a storm they created to kill black people and distract attention from Cindy Sheehan, who they sent to Texas to overshadow reporting of the Valerie Plame leak, which occurred so we could get into a quagmire in Iraq, a war that was concocted to divert attention from the failure to get Osama bin Laden, who really doesn’t exist anyway, since everybody knows that President Bush and the Israelis arranged the 9/11 attacks to give the U.S. an excuse to take over the Middle East, which we’re doing for cheap oil (or is it expensive oil?) so we can drive SUVs (or is it so Bush’s oil cronies could get rich?), because if everyone’s happily driving SUVs (or pissed off about high gas prices), they’ll forget all about the stolen election in 2000.

Remember that when you have trouble placing cell phone calls next week. It’s all Bush’s fault.
