Maybe FNC could put O'Reilly back on, and put on the child psychologists. That was interesting.......NOT.

Psychobable at a time like this.....Geesh!

Terrorists don't need to kill us themselves. If they can routinely disable the power in all major cities for more than three days at a time, then we will kill each other through race wars. It is sad but true. Think about it.

There may be confusion as to how this happened, but one thing the terrorist would be disappointed with is there wasn't any mass hysteria.

Everyone seems calm. It's just an inconvienence. Hopefully the night will be just as calm. I know the press will over report any incidents of crime without regard to the normal levels of crime on any given night.

Did Bloomy say whether he's asked Pataki to call up the National Guard?

I believe he said it is not needed. That there were plenty police and fire people to handle the demand.

Thanks for starting this thread. It was good to have reports from a variety of sources all in one place.

Hannity and Colmes up now.

Statue of Liberty is lit up. Very nice, but I'm not sure how much good that does.

I saw a post that half the country in the dark. Not making light of what has happened but half the country? I thought this was NYC and parts of NJ? Anyone have a map up?

It was maybe 15% of the country. NYC, up the Hudson to Albany, go west along the NY thruway to Syracuse, then a ring along the US side of Lake Erie, Erie Pa, Cleveland, Toledo, to Detroit.

On the canadian side follow the ring around Lake Ontario to Toronto and then up the corridor to Ottawa.

Joe - many thanks for starting this thread.

I have to log off now.

I bet the lounge will have plenty of "war stories" tomorrow.
