Did they just abandon their cars, or were those the people who didn't have cars?

Probably people without cars in the city. When I took a cruise around Manhattan on the Circle Lines, the guide said something along the lines of (I don't remember the exact numbers) "every day 2 million commuters come to Manhattan for work where there are 200 thousand parking places; you do the math." Like I said, I don't remember the exact numbers, but the point was that the VAST majority of people working in Manhattan came into work by means other than their automobile.

southwestern CT is lined with RR stations (Metro North) where the main business is commuter trains to NYC. it's a big thing the closer to the city one gets.

I happen to be on the other side of the state, so Metro North doesn't come up this far.

...hillary blamed W and the VRWC for the blackouts and asked "what did the president know and when did he know it" yet? Do her nates move when she talks or is she a ventriloquist?

LOL!!! I'm not going to try to top that one. Brilliant!

Stupid MS Word screwed up my html code before I copied and pasted. I should have just used notepad. Here is the article:

Dems' leader says Redistricting may strip road funds, congressman says

I particularly liked this line:

"The Colorado senators said Bush's chief political strategist, Karl Rove, orchestrated the redistricting effort in Colorado, as Texas Democrats contend he is pushing the issue in Texas".

"Paranoia will destroyaaa".

Gotta hit and run, but I had to comment that your WFTD seems particularly appropriate for commando Friday, Miss Rika.

Hopefully there will be photographs posted when I return. :)

I can't believe I am about to say this....but Bloominidiot is holding his own with the questions from the press.

He has actually been doing a decent job.

Now I'm going to go take a shower to cleanse myself.
