Checking in from New Jersey. Couldn't wait to check out the freeper thread on the blackout. This is the first chance I had to log in. Made my way home to south Jersey from NYC yesterday. Got home just before midnight last night. Like the rest of the masses, walked down 40 flights of stairs and walked from 48th and 6th down to the financial district, water bottle in hand. Caught the last ferry out and had to make my way from there. New Yorkers are an amazingly resilient bunch. It was 911 all over again, without the terror. Hope all freepers in the affected states made it home OK.

The ferries were running? What time did the last one get out?

I just spoke to some friends in New York. Raving liberals, but I maintain a professional relationship. They're all "outraged" that Bush didn't personally call any governors or mayors (evidently these powerfull men and women need a lot of handholding) to offer his support in their hour of trial.

They're really up in arms about it. I suspect it will be a big subject at the usual press conference at the White House.
