Now the Canadians are saying it was a fire at a Con Ed plant that caused the outage.

While O'Reilly was doing his smug bit about having a generator keeping them on the air,he should have been filling it up.

Yeah, they could be safety lights that are battery powered. Usually used to light corridors and are activated by optical sensors.

I thought we already confirmed there was no fire at Con Ed? Was supposed to be a burning off extra fuel or something?

I flipped to CNN just to see what they were doing and all I could think was "What did Paula Zahn do to her hair?"
