So I'm sitting in the dark with no power and finally a data connection (sporadically) and finally get to tell someone what an idiot Christie is.
He holds a press conf and instead of talking about rescuing people and trying to get power back or all the people whose homes were lost or damaged, what does he talk about Instead?
He waxes nostalgic about the roller coaster in Seaside Heights now being in the ocean and the loss of his favorite boardwalk stand,for sausages & peppers. All the misery and this asshole can think only of amusement rides and food! If coarse food!

(9,875 posts)Today they said upto 10 daysbut then the lights came back on for half the town tonight (not my half) so hopefully it will be soon. There are so many trees and poles down that it will take quite a while for everyone to get back power. I am in Bergen County in the ne abot 150mi from where the center of the storm hit and imagine it must be much worse down there. I haven't seen any images with no tv or internet.

And he was on TV in the afternoon too doing the same.
You must have caught the 'one' time that he talked about something else.
I hope you get your electricity back on for good soon

And Christie has been talking a lot about trying to do as much as possible as quickly as possible to get the electricity on for everyone.
He has been very passionate about it.

(10,642 posts)Despite that, he's been very pro-active, Jersey Devil. He seems to be aware of how terrible things are, and is doing everything possible he can to get people the help they need.
It must be awful for you...I can't even imagine what it's like. Hopefully you'll get power back soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
