Yeah, maybe your right......
Looks like Sean Hannity has taught O'Blowhard the fine art of constant interruption. That was supposed to be an interview with the police commissioner, but the commish only got in about a dozen words.
My oh my is O'Blowhard pompous. He sure has all the solutions, its quite amazing that he hasn't ever won a single election...
I guess I'll switch over to CNN.

1010 WINS reporting Bronx getting some lights, and parts of Westchester Cty also getting power. Still don't know what caused the outage.
To: Republican Red
TOLD YOU SO! It's already starting. From Drudge:
18:01:48 ET // WHERE IS BUSH? President in motorcade, driving from Miramar, CA to Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego for a fund-raiser. He's scheduled to pull up at the Hyatt at 6:25 p.m. ET // White House source says that if he is to say anything about the power outage, it will be at the fund-raiser, where he is expected to speak at 9:30 pm. ET... Developing
And you all question why the President is speaking to the nation.

It won't be live because, what's the point? Those effected by the black-out won't be able to watch it anyway... ;0)

I'm lucky and live where you can see the stars most every night Lucky, indeed. It's one of those "gifts" we thank God for.
Not to get sappy, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the millions affected - especially the elderly.

BTW, if it's not lightning doesn't mean it's terror. Lightning could be the cover story for shoddy maintenance, management, homer simpson spilled-coffee, etc.

I know --- myself --I think it's an overburdened system with too many people running airconditioners because it's a little warm outside. I don't believe it's lightening.
