Nuclear fiasco aftermath

Our friend Jim Clarkson, an energy consultant to businesses and CEO of Resource Supply Management, sent this along for your enjoyment.

“Columbia Tower, come in, come in. This is flight 427. We’ve got trouble.” “Tower here. What’s your trouble 427?” “All our control loops are receiving distorted signals and behaving erratically.” “Tower here. We have you on our screen, and we see the problem. It seems your holding pattern put you over Columbia while the Public Service Commission was in session. You have just flown through a cloud of regulatorium.” “Regulatorium? What’s that?” “It’s a dangerous and noxious vapor that causes normally functioning systems to respond to political whims and create chaos.” “Damn it, man. We don’t want this bird to fall out of the sky. Do something! “ “We have. We have. You are now routed away from the source of the problem. The only known remedy for the destructive effects of regulatorium is to get away from it as fast as possible.”
