Guess Beyonce´s fire blew out some fuses . . .

Bush´s fault.

Watching Netflix. No problems there.

NFL can go suck eggs.

Awkward!

Lights out for the 49ers...

The power went out too late,it should have gone out during the half time show as it was the worst ever. Beyonce sucks!

It may be tha Super Bowl in the Superdome, but it is still Louisiana.

That halftime stunk up the joint...

My money is: a cyber hack-attack.

Half-time was awful.

What´s a Beonce?

Green energy?

Half the stadium was powered by green energy. Guess which side.

3rd world status, here we come!!
Barry´s world.
This is patheti-sad. More than pathetic, far too sad.

This is the country we have become.

#9, I concur!
If it can happen to Bank of America, it can happen at the Superbowl.
Not watching anyway.

On Facebook the idiots are already saying it is Jindal´s fault. Really? 100 years of Democratic rule might be a little more likely.

Y´all need to get the app for police scanners... very interesting listening to the NOPD during the ´outtage´. It´s fun have a tech geek for a hubby.

NOLA - - shat a whit hole....

Prepare for more of this kind of thing. Read the last chapter of a book, "I.T. WARS", for a real eye-opener. (It´s on Amazon).

And the EPA was touting this as the most energy efficient Super Bowl ever. I guess Beyonce used all the credits.

This explains the Super Bowl Energy:

Was it Beyonce or was it Memorex?

N´Awlins...
HA! If it weren´t for Detroit, they´d be the biggest joke in the US.

Worst. Halftime. Ever. And I would only expect something like the stupid power outage from that cesspool of a town. Geez Louise. I also called hack attack.

When the lights went out, a little voice in the back of my mind whispered "Who is John Galt?"

WelcoThird World. Even South Africa could run a World Cp final and figure out power needs.

Same thing on MNF at Candlestick recently and in our neighborhood we get clear day outages every couple months.

Trillions spent on "infrastructure" and we have 15th century windmills and burn half our corn crop.

The game plan is a lower syandard of living for all.

This was us getting back at roger goodell for ruining our season.

Just remember, everything in our world is built by the low bidder including that dump you live in!

That power outage probably came when the stadium´s smart meter reached the red zone of too much electricity being used, so it atomatically shut off the electricity.

DH suggested that the game was going too fast and a producer flipped a switch... Gotta get in all the commercials!

I thought I was the cynical one! I thought it was a test run for terror attack.

#16 Not Bobby Jindal...Mitch Landrieu is the Mayor of the Big Easy. The same Mitch Landrieu, brother of Senator Mary Landrieu, two scions of a dynasty looting Louisiana for many years, nay maybe a century.

The bookies - mob - wanted to slow the game down. It worked.

Right, 32. Not so much about the outcome as the spread.

Personally, I like a team named after a poem.

An "abnormality" in the system? No, life with green energy. Unless the power equipment couldn´t stomach beyonce (not a proper noun).

Have been through NO several times and was always reminded of Tallulah Bankheads´ voice saying ´what a dump´. We never even
found a place that looked fit to stay in. Of course, that was a long time ago.

Welcome to the new third-world banana republic.

I thought Beyoncé did a great impersonation of Michael Jackson.

By way of coverage on Radio or Television, I’ve witnessed all 46 of the previous Super Bowls. This year, I decided to not subject myself again to a bombastic barrage of glitz, glitter, razzle-dazzle and raunch, otherwise known as “The Super Bowl Half-Time Show.” Instead, I passed the (half) time by catching up on a few minor chores which needed attention. I’m glad I did. I plan to do likewise during the half-times of the next 46 unless their producers plan to ‘unspectacularize’ them by mercifully toning them down at least a reasonable number of notches. I know what I did was radical, but not only do I not care, I highly recommend it.

The Puppy Bowl never lost power.

Now that THAT´S over...does Ray Lewis go to jail now?

According to The Donald, the Super Bowl power failure exemplifies the decline of America.

There is a story on Drudge this morning about New Orleans leading on the energy efficient forefront. Guess they really saved some big bucks last night.

The NFL owes New Orleans and the Superdome a tremendous debt of gratitude. The game was shaping up to be a boring terrible blowout.

What a pathetic shambles. Except for Paul Harvey and the Budweiser horse, the
"commercials" were slutty dreck. Thanks to all the interruptions, the game had no rhythm or continuity. The half-time show was a screaming, shouting, strutting no-talent black hooker. NFL stands for a lot of things these days... good clean family entertainment isn´t one of them.

Here they are in the Greatest Music City in the World
where kids start jammin at a tender age-

Home of Louis Armstrong and many, many other fabluous musicians, both living and dead

and for a musical halftime interlude they hire a talentless squawker dressed up like a cheap chippy-jumping around like a chicken with her head cut off-

No wonder God caused the lights to go out.

Beyonce reminded me of a crazed Witch Doctor doing an exorcism. All that was missing was the dead chicken.

First thing across my mind too #11 . The way the EPA is attacking power plants , it´s a wonder the lights were on that long . Half the sales reciebts went to pay for electricity .

Most of our power comes from coal-fired plants, which Obama has promised shut down. Shazzam, the lights go out. Way to go Obie.

I thankfully didn´t watch all of the "Super" Bowl. Both of these teams are nowhere near my favorites and I had to wake up early to go to work. I heard this morning on the news that the power outage happened, the half time show sucked and the Edgar Allen Poe Ravens won. Big whup! I read too that the deadhead obama voters are trying to blame the blackout on Governor Jindal. What rubbish. All this is is the former mayor School Bus Chocolate City Nagin´s New Orleans chickens coming home to roost.

What happened? As Mother Hillary said: “What difference at this point does it make” /s

We might form a committee to investigate, however. /s/s/s

The ugly comments on this thread about a city with so much of America´s beauty and history are inappropriate... and dare I say ignorant... sure it´s run by Dems... but Bobby is doing his level best to bring growth and industry to the entire state... As were My Ravens... [and don´t get me started on B´more... and it´s history...]

Next time you are near New Orleans, instead of flying into Kenner... come across the 32 mile Causway across Lake Ponchetrain at dawn... or the back roads through the beautiful bayous from Baton Rouge... Or past the still exquisite and gracious plantation homes before Gretna... and listen to a CD of Harry Baby [Harry Connick Jr who was playing sweet jazz as a lad of six] ... then have a beignet and coffee at Cafe du Monde in the Quarter as a lone sax plays Amazing Grace at noon... and get back to me...

For the sake of energy efficiency the lights were on a motion sensor and San Fran wasn´t moving the ball enough.

A couple of guys got up on a ladder and waved their hand in front of the sensor and the lights came back on.

Re: #9 and some others: My first thought, too.
E.g., Possibly a little cat and mouse toying by the same group that hacked the State Dept. website a week or so ago.
Understand that there is no evidence and this just pure imaginative speculation. But interesting to see that others have the same thoughts.

#32 Ha! That´s exactly what my husband said.

I just talked to a former Sec of State...she said What difference does it make...? LOL!!

"I started thinking it was a terrorist attack. I was a little nervous."

Seriously? Then the terrorists have won.

I didn´t think terrorist, I first thought maybe ANONYMOUS had struck, but figured they´d toot their hornby killing the lights but announce something on the scoreboard/monitors...

I won´t Beyonce was worst, because she was better than Madonna´s show. THAT was the worst I´ve ever seen.

I wonder how many people are like me. I don´t watch the SB anymore unless my team (Falcons) is in it. I´ll probably be dead before they ever make it again.

I guess it makes a good excuse for a party but I have almost no interest in the NFL anymore. Maybe just old age....

Thank you, # 52. I was not going to post as there is so much ignorance flowing on this thread I thought, what’s the use!
Yes, there are a lot of liberals in New Orleans, partly due to history and partly a result of being a port city. I live within the city limits of New Orleans and I am represented by Senator David Vitter and Congressman Steve Scalise, two very conservative members of Congress. Mary Landrieu, our token Democrat, is one of the few Democrats holding a state wide office in Louisiana. The New Orleans metropolitan area is mostly conservative.
This weekend I saw millions of happy people enjoying a super bowel weekend like never before. It was a weekend long party no other city could duplicate. Now we get serious about Mardi Gras, another event no other city could duplicate. A few have tried in the past, but each time it ended up in a riot.
I’ve lived in other cities and my career has me traveling around the US. New Orleans is a special place unlike any other city!

Just a preview of what will become the "new norm" with Obama´s and the Left´s energy policies. We are truly on course to becoming a third world country with this idiot and his fellow socialists in the White House.

Nagin´s chocolate factory at its best.

Bravo, #52. Well said. Thank you.

There is an overabundance of ignorant locale-bashing on these boards. I live in SoCal and see it all the time.

It used to bug me; I don´t much care now. "You can´t stop monkeys from chattering," as my dad once said when my sister and I wouldn´t shut up.

Mardi Gras has been hijacked by abusive drunken slobs, yes -- as have so many other once-great American traditions. But New Orleans is a true American treasure, definitely.

I would have thought Kanye West would have blamed Bush by now.

What? NO couldn´t pay their electric bill?
