Bet she's talking about herself. It's going to be scarey at night, etc.
Also loved her little political comment that after 911 people no longer trust the government. Did she trust the Clinton led government?

Oh you're no fun any more (Python skit). My fun is coming back ---did someone say fire? That's a little more alarming to consider --- a peaceful dark night was one thing --- a city starting to burn.....that's another.

I got power here. Our county was completely spared, except all the Detroiters are now causing long lines at the gas stations out here(Since most in neighboring Oakland are closed).
So I'm staying home tonight.

Blitzer was saying that reports of fire have been increasing in the city as it gets darker.....
Candles are being burned in homes, and......

Hopefully, just an isolated incident.

NO, what is on second!

Did we outsource software that didn't exist in 65 and 77. No. And your point? The point, is to try to refrain from parrotting the rant of the day on FR.(I.E. Indian outsourcing caused this problem, since it seems it was our friends in toppling saddam(/sarcasm), Canada and Chretien, which caused this power outage.

FNC seems to feel the need to hype any news story. I went thru two blackouts in NYC - everything I saw indicated that people were handling it very well. They are probably told to "keep 'em riveted to their seats" to hold the viewers.
