Having lived through two of the toughest heat waves in history - one in Texas as a child, the other in Chicago as an adult, I have nothing but empathy for the residents of the Queens boro of my beloved New York City. And I have to say the incredibly slow response to the matter is a rather sluggish demonstration of Mayor Bloomberg and his buddies at Con Ed.

Bloomberg has not missed the moment for preening though. Visiting the boro - during daylight hours - for the last three days in a row, it makes one wonder if it matters.

Yesterday he was asking residents not to get angry and to wait till later to point fingers. Then he boards his taxpayer limo and heads back to his cooly comfortable Manhattan residence.

I do think it's unreasonable as some residents were calling for to demand that the power company give them free electricity for the next six months. But I feel every ounce of their frustration. In the Chicago heat wave that I lived through dozens of people died.

And those are the headlines none of us want to see start happening in Queens...

Come on Mayor - instead of protecting your buddies at Con Ed - ride their case a little. With 100,000 people out of power - the threat to life is huge. So please stop posing, and start leading...
