Well they can bear my name, but for God's sake (for my sake?),

Ya see? Once you start getting the hang of it..it sort of starts to grow on you.

And of course I know you would never take advantage of your situation.

None of that demagougue like behavior for the Big Pet..

Oh yeah...I forgot...I shortened your name so it would fit on your business card.

Wait a sec...that doesn't work...it sort of sounds like a Porn Site.

I regret I have to submit my resignation...I simply can't work for a god who endores bestiality. I do wish you much success in your future omnipotency. Sincerely, FP

with all the lights out they can get a very nice view of the night sky for a change.

I've had a theory that's one of the problems in the cities. People don't get to look up at the "big picture", and ponder eternity. They get tied up in their earthly squabbles.

"Yea, right {snort}. More WINDMILLS!"

Naturally. Justthink, if everyone had their own windmill in their back yard or on their roof, this wouldn't happen. (/sarcasm)

Interesting - FOX now saying weather was good up north and maybe no lightning while CNN (have 2 TVs on) still confirming lightning!

VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY June 13, 2001:"One of the concerns, obviously, is the aging power grid and the growing problem that we have in getting electricity from the power plant to the light switch. It's clear that we must upgrade and expand the power grid. If we put more connections in place, we'll go a long way towards avoiding future blackouts."

Cleveland announced curfew at 9 pm.

Detroit Police sit on Woodward and Jefferson in front of General Motors world headquarters, during a power outage August 14, 2003. New Yorkers may have rushed into the streets when a power blackout hit a large swath of eastern North America on Thursday but in Motor City, people mostly headed for their cars. The result was gridlock for thousands of Detroit commuters. Detroit does not have much public transportation aside from buses and a lightly used downtown monorail. So when the power failed in office buildings, people went straight for their cars. REUTERS/Rebecca Cook

Interestingly, there hasn't been a single post to the FR New York State page since noon.

"O'Reilly swallowing the party lie hook and sinker."

I'm surprised he hasn't called for President Bush to take control. That's usually his answer to everything.

Yikes! I can't believe it...he's just asking a guest if it isn't something that Bush and the Homeland Security office shouldn't get involved in. I'm a mind reader.

Very eerie New York pictures with the arteries of headlights...

Haven't you heard of "lightening from a clear blue sky"? ;)

like sardines with a bunch of sweating people who'd deodorant is breaking down

I miss those old Dial soap commercials: "Aren't you glad you use Dial? Don't you wish everybody did?"

You should be able to see Mars from Grover Mills also. Although, over by you, you might want to watch out for the weird looking dudes in search of green M&Ms.

[Petronski]

I wish you'd stay with the organization...like I said, the Petronettes WILL NOT resemble me. I promise.

[Chad Fairbanks]

LOL... me, too...

[Rome2000]

Why is Bush adressing the nation over a lightning strike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shermy]

why actually try to bring on chaos?

Media makes more money that way.
