Just in case you're wondering, here is a metaphor for how it's been going here, politically, between Entergy and the once-trusting Vermonters. It's kind of an offensive metaphor (it's a blonde joke; what do you expect?), but it's not all that offensive if you swap in the word "Entergy" wherever you see "lawyer" and the phrase "Trusting Vermonter" wherever you see "blonde." Also, replace "play a game of intelligence" with "play a game of chicken regarding the decommissioning fund and relicensing application."
A blonde and a lawyer are on an airplane. The lawyer invites the blonde to play a game of intelligence. He offers her 10 to 1 odds, saying that every time the blonde can't answer one of his questions, she'll only have to give him $5. But every time he can't answer one of hers, he'll have to give her $50.00. The lawyer figures he can't lose, she's so dumb and trusting.
The lawyer goes first. He asks, "What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?"
Without saying a word the blonde hands him $5. Then she asks, "What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?"
Well, the lawyer looks puzzled. He takes several hours, looking up everything he can on his laptop and even placing air-to-ground phone calls trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gives up and pays the blonde $50.00
The blonde puts the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insists, "What is the answer to your question?"
Without saying a word, the blonde hands him $5.
I don't know, Lord. I told you, it's a metaphor! How specific do you want me to get, anyway? But I guess what I could say by way of explanation, God, is that my sense of things is that Trusting Vermonters are still ahead in this game of chicken, but only because they've got bigger boobs.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Actually, Lord, that's not funny unless I change it to "they've been bigger boobs, and it may really be too awful politically (nationally) for Entergy to move ahead with the tactics they've been using. That's why the Trusting Vermonters may still be ahead.
Ok. My explanation stepped on that joke.
Sorry,

PS: Is gloating sinful?
