Ask them to grab the live wire to hand it up to you.

If they drive Elec crews away, they can’t charge their Obama phones.

Send the egg throwers to Benghazi to man the consulate.

Jeez. Makes me glad I’ve never been to Connecticut.

I grew up in one of the nicest suburbs of DC, until I moved to Atlanta when I was 12. The difference in the manners and attitude of the citizens was so stark, so obvious even to a young boy, that I immediately considered the South my home.

And if I needed any reminder, I spent my final two years of high school at a boarding school in NJ.

Of course, with all the carpetbaggers that have come down here the last 20 years, it's, sadly, not the Atlanta of my youth anymore.

Probably like the A-holes in Sam Franciscum that set a million dollar bus on fire to celebrate the Giants’ victory?

According to the UI outage map, Bridgeport has 56,703 customers with 11,499 currently in the dark for 20.28%. Currently UI has a total of 58,504 in the dark in their service area. Don’t even conditioner setting foot in Bridgeport until the other 47,005 are restored.

Knowing how the media is so Hyped, I would suggest that one person threw one egg.

Knowing how Union’s are also Hyper, they took advantage of the situation.

Just saying!

Mayor Bill Finch is a certified “FOB” (friend of Bill Clinton). So his vulgar behavior should come as no surprise.

Bridgeport has been the butt of jokes for well over a hundred years. In Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, he pokes fun at the city and its pretensions.

>>I live in Florida and this only happens where the welfare people live

You just described the entire city of Bridgeport. Too bad, there are some nice areas with stunning architecture. But the rats have infested and turned it into a latrine.

>>Bridgeport, where boxes of ballots turned up just in time, in just the right amount, to win Danny Malloy (D) the governorship.

Yeah, libbies don’t like when I toss that in their face around here. And when they started whining abut the tax and fee increases after Danny Boy got in power, I just laughed at them.
