Why the whole national defense and national security state apparatus is so much bullshit, unable to actually defend the country from very much at all...

February 06,2007 | CASPER, Wyo. -- An owl electrocuted itself in an electrical substation, briefly knocking out power to almost 23,000 customers in south Casper.
Margaret Oler, spokeswoman for Rocky Mountain Power, said the bird tripped the high-voltage line at 10:20 p.m. Sunday, shutting down that and three other substations. She called it the largest outage she's seen in 25 years.
"Our equipment operated exactly as it should have and did not allow the damage to go further," Oler said.
It took about an hour to restore power.
