Not all the Liars Are in Washington


Some are right here in New York, New York according to Yahoo News:

As many as 25,000 customers are without power in Queens and Mayor Michael Bloomberg estimated that translates to 100,000 people without power during some of the hottest days of the summer so far. On his weekly radio show, the mayor said he was "annoyed" by the inaccurate initial estimates from Con Edison because "we might have thrown more resources into the area."

"The sad thing is, this shouldn't have happened," Bloomberg said. "We don't know why, but the most important thing — make sure nobody dies or gets hurt and then help Con Ed to get it back up."

"And then we'll go and try to figure out why and point fingers and beat people over the head and all that sort of thing," added the mayor.
Con Edison said its revised number followed a block-by-block cable inspection in northwest Queens on Thursday night. It said previous estimates came from the number of customers who called to complain."
