You know what is terrible... here in Cali we have a radio station that is running this commercial and it starts out "we here at Live 105 care about our friends on the east coast and really depend on them, so we have come up with a solution... California needs money, New York needs power" Why don't we californians, for a nominal fee to those in need, string our extension cords across the country to our friends on the east coast to help them out then everybody's problems will be solved. Kinda wrong of them to make lite of such a horrible occurance... but I have to admit I did giggle at the thought of all those extension cords reaching across the country... I'm just glad everyone here seems to have been relatively safe I would hate to have gotten stuck in an elevator or the subway or something....
