A Nation Reels as It's Rome, Baby! Updates Delayed by Power Failure

How much more can America take? In another blow delivered via nature by an apparently vengeful God, storm related power loss delayed the release of updates by the seething-edge sociopolicomedramadidactic weblog It's Rome, Baby!. The latest in a series of American weather-related disasters snuck in between the ravages of Tropical Storms Arlene and Cindy, category four Hurricane Dennis, and category five Hurricane Katrina, and on the cusp of feared destruction by category four Hurricane Rita, currently bearing down on Texas.

Acting Under Secretary of Emergency Preparedness and Response and Acting Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency R. David Paulison stated "It's Rome, Baby! author Scrivener's characterization, in the preceding paragraph, of this event as a weather-related disaster is, under the circumstances, in extraordinarily poor taste."

Determined as usual to make electric kool-aid from the electric kool-lemons handed to him by la belle dame sans merci, Fate, Scrivener is taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in a brief experiment in increasingly recursive self-reference and to launch a practically invisible site redesign. He advises worthy readers to check back Monday for reestablished regular updates.
