Did you read Hoynes a few weeks ago when he referred to the AL Central as "the lollipop guild?"

I missed that one. Are you sure you live in PA?

Funniest moment this afternoon for me was when the "scroll" at the bottom of the screen on CNN reported the headline "UN Building in the dark..."

Yeah, there is something fishy going on. Why keep us in the dark about it (pun intended)?

Yeah, we saw that too. Of course the UN has been in the dark for many years.

Whoa, that's "sexy" Paula Zahn? She looks more like a cocktail waitress at the V-Twin Bar and Grill. (Except that real bikers wouldn't touch her.)

I thought they were going to buy the power from Gray Davis.

Hillary is correct. They did try to deal with this. They had planned to hook up a power belt to Monica's mouth. Could have powered the entire east coast!

And sucked the chrome off several thousand trailer hitches at the same time.

That doesn't look very safe at all. I would of just stayed in the city and waited a couple of hours.

I don't doubt that. In the newsroom today, all the national networks were showing WCBS video.

Oh this is good. Furman on Fox says alcohol sale and consumption needs to be curtailed for safety reasons.

Didn't Nanny Bloomberg say the opposite?

A freeper noted remarks Cheney made in June 2001 that the power grids needed to be updated.

So there's a quote from our side. Where's hers?

We'll wait......(and wait.....and wait)

I was thinking the methane gas eminating from old crusty would've done the job just fine.

where he talks about how "When I was Energy Secretary" he was Jeremiah warning the country of this for years

Richardson reminds me of Jonah and the Whale. The whale spit Jonah out of his mouth and dumped Richardson out the other end.

You can't get any lower than that, don't cha know.

It is still going on, it is up in Canada. I am trying to find a report online about it. ABC has been talking about it. So far they are ok, but some are as far down as 4000ft and will have to climb out since the power is off and the miner lifts run on electric.

Or they'll just say his attentions are too unfocused. Hillary already said Bush is undoing all the great strides made during the Clinton administration under Bill Richardson's leadership. And she addressed Doofus each time as Governor Davis. Governor Davis. Governor Davis. Governor Davis.

This makes me crazy!!!!! LK would of course have all of these socialists on !!!!

listening to an interview on WNBC with a Con Ed guy. Very very evasive. Its either something they are trying to coverup (sabotage), or some kind of monumental act of human error that initiated a trip of all automatic systems.
