I'm surprised there've been no John Rocker jokes about this one.

Since being trapped in a brutally hot subway car himself many years ago, Muttly has not ventured out of his lair without at least a good knife and flashlight on his person. What one finds in darkened subway tunnels can border on the unpleasant.

Imagine this......
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/15/nyregion/15TRAN.html But the Long Island Rail Road reported no injuries among the 1,000 passengers trapped in the 4:04 to Babylon, which left the station just minutes before the power failed. Brian Dolan, a spokesman for the railroad, said the train was stalled under the East River with no cool air until 6 p.m., when a diesel train was able to tow it back into Penn Station.
Donna Romano, a passenger, said it felt like a sauna. "But we couldn't open the windows," she said, "because it was worse outside than it was inside."

"People scrambled at a hardware store in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, hoping to power their flashlights before nightfall."Oil lamps are great inventions, and believe it or not, you can still buy them. Decorative AND functional.

A Con Edison crew works on restoring power in the Manhattan borough of New York, Friday, Aug. 15, 2003 after a massive power blackout in the Northeastern United States. The lights started to flicker back on Friday after a massive power outage that closed city subways and trains, left millions in stifling heat and killed at least one person (AP Photo/J. David Ake)

LOS ANGELES TIMES, October 2003 -- Millions have become homeless under the draconian right-wing policies of the new governor, conservative Republican Arnold Schwarzeneggar. The former actor, whose father was a member of the Nazi Party, declared martial law and had electricity and water shut off in all major cities. This morning, he signed an executive order making it legal to shoot Jews and homeless people. Fellow actor Mel Gibson, whose father denies the Holocaust, was quoted as calling this "a good start." President Bush, whose great uncle's seventh cousin five times removed owned slaves, has yet to take a position on the California reforms.

Correct. Muttly only take busses when in Fun City. At least you can escape. Those people are fanning hot, humid, smelly air at themselves. Muttly no like Mine Disasters, personally. Now, unless he dug the burrow himself, he stays above ground at all (most) times.

"Of course, Mayor Doofus stood in the middle of the bridge to shake people's hands and get some face time, but only served to block foot traffic and got heckled for it, from what I understand"I sure hope he got heckled. I was a tad peeved this morning to hear the talking heads comment on his show of leadership during this crisis when the first thing he did was to hold a televised press conference in order to reassure millions of residents who could neither see nor hear him due to a lack of electricity that everything was under control and advise them to check and make sure their refrigerator doors were closed.
