NYT Nicholas Kristof: Unfair that Some People Have Generators in a Crisis

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Now, over the weekend, a columnist in the New York Times by the name of Nicholas Kristof wrote a piece. He’s all upset about the electrical grid failing in the Northeast during Hurricane Sandy. But that’s not what made him mad. What made him mad was the reliance that some people had on private generators. He was upset about that, that some people had them and other people didn’t. Here’s the short version, according to David French at National Review.

For the record, having family in the Southeast in areas prone to Hurricanes and tropical storms, it is not unusual for homeowners to have a generator for emergencies. Yes, some have more powerful one’s installed, but for the most part, the portable models are the norm. The trick, I am told, is making sure you have enough gas on hand BEFORE a storm approaches!!

 

MSNBC Chris Matthews is Glad NE Got Hit By Sandy to Save Obama- Of Course, those Without Power Cannot Hear Him!!

from GretaWire and RealClear Politics:

I wonder what the thousands and thousands who right now are freezing cold and without power think about Chris Matthews’ comment below.  I know what I think and I have power and heat in my house.  What is wrong with him?  It is one thing to have political enthusiasm and the “thrill going up his leg” (his famous quote)…but this?  ”glad that we had this storm last week?”

“…I’m so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics….”

Marathon Madness: Bloomberg Races On, Despite Aftermath of Storm

from New York Post Editorial:

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers huddle in the dark each night after the most devastating storm in city history — while two massive generators chug away in Central Park and a third sits idle waiting to power a media center during Sunday’s NYC Marathon.

Like hell.

Those generators could power 400 homes on Staten Island or the Rockaways or any storm-wracked neighborhood in the city certain to be suffering the after-effects of Hurricane Sandy on Sunday morning.

Shouldn’t they come first? Shouldn’t the race just be canceled?

Damned straight.

But Mayor Mike’s trademark Manhattan myopia is back: While ravaged outer-borough New Yorkers shiver in the dark, he declares the race will go on.

(Can anyone say “Christmas Blizzard?”)

As The Post reports today, the industrial-strength generators have been set up to power a marathon tent.

Meanwhile, NYPD vehicles — and cops themselves — were diverted yesterday to race duty. More than a dozen flatbed trucks used to shuttle people and supplies to and from devastated areas were dispatched to help put up . . . spectatorbarriers.

Meanwhile, the notion that so much as a flashlight battery would be devoted to a sporting event is outrageous.

As for the generators, two 300kW models and a 200kW backup are plunked down near the old Tavern on the Green.

But Staten Island needs backing up, thank you very much. And Breezy Point. And so on.

Sure, the generators are privately owned. The Road Runners Club has rented them.

In the Aftermath of Destruction, there is always that “Looting Mentality” Element that Emerges

A wave a looters followed the Sandy storm surge in Coney  Island, creating a double-whammy for business owners trying to pick up  the obliterated pieces.

The thieves started down Mermaid Avenue Tuesday morning as  the chest-high water receded, turning the seaside community known for  its hotdogs and tourist attractions into a lawless free-for-all.

“People were running in and out of Rent-A-Center carrying these  big flat screens. They were holding on tight,” said witness Aisha  John, 20. “I couldn’t understand how someone could steal a big TV in  broad

daylight, but no one cared.”

She said people were running out of a nearby Rite Aid with bags  of diapers and wipes.

“Look, they’ve been looting our wallets for too long,” said a  young male who claimed he helped himself to a TV at the Rent-A-Center

Electric Cars “Explode” In Hurricane Sandy

A lot of cars ended up underwater in areas flooded by Hurricane Sandy over the  past two days. But for already  troubled Fisker, things got worse: Approximately 16 Karmas in Port Newark,  New Jersey were submerged, then caught fire.

A witness told Jalopnik the  extended-range luxury hybrids were “first submerged in a storm surge and then  caught fire, exploded.”

It’s unclear exactly what happened, but looking at the photos posted on  Jalopnik, the cars were severely damaged.

Sen. Rand Paul Feels the Wrath of His Dad’s Base after Endorsing Romney

Fans of the “Ron Paul Revolution” were not happy with his son Sen. Rand Paul after he endorsed Mitt Romney last night on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Show.
Paul explained that although his “first choice was always my father,” he insisted that he had a lot in common with Romney, who signaled to him that he was serious about a number of government reforms.
But the backlash on Sen. Paul’s Facebook page was fierce as the vocal supporters of the Ron Paul Revolution, took to the comments section to denounce his son. As of this morning, over 2,000 comments were posted, a majority of them negative. Supporters blasted Rand Paul for “selling out” the legacy of his father to the “Republican establishment.”

A few fans approved of Rand Paul’s decision, but only 270 people “liked” his endorsement message.
Others even speculated that Rand Paul was threatened or bribed into supporting Romney, by the Bilderberg group, suggesting that it wasn’t a coincidence that his endorsement came after their conference.

Other angry fans even started a “Ron Paul Supporters Who Don’t Give A Sh*t Who Rand Endorses” Facebook page that now has 210 members.
