Hannity station went dead for about 20 seconds. Said he had never seen anything like it.

[Fledermaus]

Well, at least nobody watches MSNBC.

And who believes anything said on Larry King's show?

But yea, Fox blew the coverage.

[NeoCaveman]

Then again, if you look at the rest of our's state's dems......Debbie Stabusall....Lynn Rivers.....

They are no Condi Rice or Ann Coulter or Heather Nauert (in that order)

[hoosiermama]

Just got home...Is there a map of the area that is involved?

What does Enron have to do with the power grid for gosh sakes?

Absolutely NOTHING .. but it doesn't stop Hellary from going on EVERY news station and spewing that garbage

[Mo1]

She's spewing on CNBC now....

Unbelievable .. she is a ..... Oh heck, I can't type what she is

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

>>...Of course, this is the reason I USED to carry a penlight on my keychain. Of course with the recent TSA rules I took it off so it wouldn't be confiscated...<<

This is the problem with the current security problem. Those of us who like to carry "survival" gear with us when we travel are not allowed to do so.

I like to carry items such as flashlights, Leatherman tool, etc. in case of emergencies. Not allowed anymore.

We've been reduced to helpless sheep.

Reporting from Times Square -- crowded with onlookers who want to see it dark. Reporter commenting "when was the last time you could see the stars from Times Square?"

What does Enron have to do with the power grid for gosh sakes?

In their heyday, everything... and nothing... That short little Mr. Lay from Enron showed up at an East Central Relaibility Council meeting 3 or 4 years ago - that ought to indicate how much credence reliability has been given in the industry of late.

Interesting link.

I was always under the impression that the copper and nickel mines in the Sudbury basin of Ontario are all open-pit mines. Sudbury may very well be the ugliest city in North America, due to the scarred landscape and piles of mine tailings.

I don't think there is a word bad enough to describe the Hildebeest.

Beautiful sunny day in Niagara Falls. Chretien's been smokin' something.

I join your rant. I had not heard Wilson's comment regarding President Bush. Unless a slip of the tongue that is immediately corrected, that is not an acceptable mistake to make.

Look how the press treats different politicians. They cannot say they treat all with skepticism. Keith Olberman practically crowed that this story overshadowed the capture of the Al Qaeda member today and so President Bush didn't get the attention he normally would have. In comparison Hillary spews her obviously partisan spin on this situation *unchallenged*.

[Consort]

After CNBC, Hillary will do Al-Jazeera next and then the French and German networks.

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for the neat photo :).

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You don't expect them to lay the blame where it should be, at the feet of the Greens and the politicians who enable them. She's one of them.

[Alberta's Child]

Where are all these people going to go to the bathroom?

Before I left my building this afternoon I took a leak in the pitch-black men's room on my floor. LOL.

[FITZ]

How much you want to bet Hellary's mansion has the same?

Sure ---but she'll still find and excuse not to take a shower.
