I'm no guru electrician, and get shocked more than Tim the Tool man....but I had that happen once. You've got 2 wires switched in a way that never opens the circuit.

What is weirder is, the other switched outlet (one I DID NOT replace) on the same circuit also no longer functions correctly. It is just "on" all the time.
