Explosion causes NYC building fire, collapse

Sounds pretty sad to me.

Wow, what a freaking drama queen.  Not to belittle the tragedy of the event, but that is WAY over the top.

Charlie Rangel is another doddering old fool with a penchant for tax evasion/fraud who should have retired a decade ago.  Why these ridiculous geezers are allowed to take up space in Congress is a mystery.

The retirement plan for frauds, con artists, and embezzlers that don't have a gig in the public sector isn't as lucrative.

Du-uuuh!!!  :-) :fuelfire:

Rangel is a crook. He's just angling for federal money or something.
