Considering we’re only 60 miles away FROM New York City, we’re pretty fortunate to have not lost power… but then again we ALWAYS go without lights during every thunderstorm.<\/p>\n

Today on the Pocono Record:<\/strong> Bill Doolittle recalls the Blackout of 1965 in NYC. Pretty cool stuff, as he had to share his space with the staff of The New York Times.<\/p>\n

I was only two or three months old during that Blackout… so I don’t remember much. I do remember Bushwick turning INTO a war-zone in 1977. That sucked.
\n
\nIf the name Bill Doolittle sounds familiar, yes, you may know his brother Jerome Doolittle<\/strong> of BAD ATTITUDES<\/a><\/strong> fame, who has become quite the blogging superstar as of late. Constantly referenced on such illuminati sites as Mykeru.Com<\/strong> and .:Chapel-Perilous:..<\/strong> I guess because Jerome covered the Vietnam War first-hand, you can assume he knows a little something about war, journalism, and politics. Ya think?<\/p>\n

I have the honor of working with Bill, and his daughter, Erin. Wonderful people & great journalists.<\/p>\n

The Bob Dylan concert is in progress down the block<\/strong>. Too bad Carole has a “confidentiality clause” in her contract or I’d have some STORIES to tell YOU!<\/p>\n

what.a.fucking.loon.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry, did I say that out loud?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
