'Toontime: Raising the Poles

[credit: Bob Tonroe]
Ah, if it were only so! Two weeks and one election later there are still residents in the northeast without electric power. El Obamados visited again to reassure dispossessed citizens that federal help will be given to them so they can recover from the Sandy superstorm.  About 120,000 homes are still dark in New York and New Jersey.  Residents without power protested in front of the Long Island Power Company this past weekend.  The utility said on Monday that it had restored power to 97% if its customers.
