I don't get AM in my car that why I have to listen to NPR for something other than mindless radio like Lex&terry or anything on 93.3.

The firewall built into XP is good enough. It doesn't block spyware, but it blocks everything coming from outside.

Spolied in Chicago too -g- Although I did live in one another that was hit weekly up North. But it was reiterated 1000 times in our news we do not share a grid.

I remember about 40 years ago my uncle in Western NY telling me about taking some NYC ghetto kids on a summer camping trip -- and how utterly in awe they were of the stars. They had never seen stars before. Maybe some kids did get a big treat last night.

Damn the Mayor of Cleveland, Jane "Feinstein" Campbell is one

Is it just me or soes she remind everyone of a friends annoying b!tchy mom?

I call her "Calamity Jane" and absolutely. Though her mom is worse...a Castro behindlicker par excellence who was instrumental in sending Elian Gonzales back to prison.

A liberal Democrat with Bloombergian elitist tendencies, she spearheaded a crackdown on the traditional pre-Browns game tailgate parties. I suppose this can be expected from a :spit: Michigan fan.

I know --- but it's nice to see there is still a lot of traditional Americaness about this country that people will take something like this and start throwing "black-out" parties instead of rioting, looting, or panicking.

Agreed. I think after 9/11, something like a blackout is nothing to most of those in NYC. If it lasted through the weekend, I'd be worried, but most are good people.
