This is what was going on in New York City yesterday as families continued to struggle with post-Hurricane Sandy devastation.

Here’s what food lines in lower Manhattan look like today.

So of course President Obama headed to Manhattan to ensure local leaders have the resources they need.

Nah, just kidding. The campaigner in chief jetted off to Vegas, baby!

If Sandy had happened and two or three days later Bush was in Vegas campaigning.. All media hell would break loose. Obama..? Nothing.

Obama does quick photo op for an hour with Gov Christie then back n Vegas the next day campaigning as many are without food,power,gas&water

Civil unrest in NYC: dumpster diving, looting and anger. But at least Obama is comfortable in Vegas campaigning…

Sheila E. provided entertainment at the Sin City rally on Thursday.

Just finished playing for the President in Vegas. Please Go and and Vote! God bless @obama2012

And campaign co-chair Eva Longoria warmed up the crowd, presumably without her usual vulgarities and bashing of conservative women and minorities.

In Vegas at the #WeDecide rally @ The Cheyenne Sports Complex w/ @sheilaedrummer! @barackobama to arrive shortly to see everyone fired up!

But no worries. President Obama is a multitasker! He can campaign and offer leaders in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut the dubious comfort of his soothing voice via conference call.

[W]e had conference calls with mayors all across New Jersey; had conference calls with mayors and local elected officials all across Connecticut. I spoke to the governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York, and they’re struggling. And the cleanup, the aftermath of this storm is going to be hard and it’s going to take some time.

Unsurprisingly, that’s little relief to those in storm-ravaged areas.

47 degrees — and no power in NYC — could be days before the power is restored. Meanwhile, Obama campaigns.

Oh, and before the trolls start in with “But ROMMMMMNEEEEEEY”:

Love when leftists write me “Romney is campaigning post-Sandy, so why should Obama act differently?” OBAMA IS PRESIDENT. WAKE UP.

Former GOP rep. arrives in Nevada with questions about #BundyRanch standoff

http://twitter.com/#!/WalshFreedom/status/455022991298940929 http://twitter.com/#!/WalshFreedom/status/455027038269620225

Former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh arrived in Nevada on Saturday just as it was reported that the Bureau of Land Management was ending its court-ordered removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from public land.

http://twitter.com/#!/LaurenRozyla/status/455022823128326144 http://twitter.com/#!/LaurenRozyla/status/455023014044659714

The tense and complicated standoff between the rancher and the BLM grew increasingly toxic as incidents of violence between protesters and law enforcement were reported and false information spread across the Internet.

http://twitter.com/#!/Matthops82/status/454869064192512000

Walsh wonders if today’s developments are really the end of the standoff.

http://twitter.com/#!/WalshFreedom/status/455032225877069824 http://twitter.com/#!/WalshFreedom/status/455034484497207296 http://twitter.com/#!/WalshFreedom/status/455037714455203840

According to 8NewsNow.com’s sources,”the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.”

Stay tuned as this story develops.

[Update]

As details continue to emerge, Walsh shares what he’s hearing on the ground in Nevada.

Watchers of the TNT program “Franklin & Bash” know you will find working mentions of Rob Lowe, who is supposedly a neighbor whose name (and couch) make an intermittent appearances.

One of the movie stars for the show is prepared for whatever Lowe has up their sleeve:

Gaffe-tastic: Biden totally gets why people voted for a felon over Obama in W. Va.

For reals! Joe Biden said he totally doesn’t blame the people in West Virginia who voted for a felon over President Obama.

Oh, Joe. At least he may be able to escape full punishment since he did manage to work in “inherited by Bush.” Pretty sure reporters will be shooed off the line again today and prevented from having further access to Biden.

In the meantime, at least we can all giggle madly.

These 31 Builders Made Mistakes That Will Leave You BAFFLED. Ridiculously Hilarious.

No, these aren’t pictures from inside of a funhouse. These are real-life building disasters that somehow made it from architect to contractor without anyone noticing. (That is, until someone tried to use a set of stairs that led literally nowhere.) Check out all 31 – how did anyone let this happen?!

1. Privacy is overrated.

2. Wheelchairs can go up steps, right?

3. Also, wheelchairs probably have rockets attached to them.

4. Obviously they hope they’d be living like the Jetsons by now.

5. Chimneys belong in front of windows. That’s just a fact.

6. “Where the Stairs End,” the lesser known Shel Silverstein book.

7. Who needs stairs when you can just fall?

8. Someone obviously didn’t think the aerial view through…

9. Further proof that high schools are from hell.

10. Almost, man. Almost.

11. Don’t buy a level, he said. It’ll be fine, he said.

12. The only way out of the prison is a little… tricky… to use.

13. Ahh, I knew we forgot something.

14. To be fair, no one would be able to see your PIN from this angle.

15. Silly man, this ATM is for hobbits only.

16. It’s so easy to confuse doors and windows.

17. Mother Nature: 1 Architects: 0

18. Wait, Mother Nature: 2 Architects: 0

19. Looks like someone was an MC Escher fan.

20. Eh, close enough.

21. Someone obviously didn’t understand this staircase wasn’t being built at Hogwarts.

22. … this isn’t what a half-bath is.

23. Come, children. Play on the “ow my knees” slide.

24. Bricks are the new windows.

25. … no idea.

26. I hope they drive a compact. Or a motorcycle. Or walk.

27. No, that’s not dangerous at all.

28. If you want to go in here, you just have to want it bad enough.

29. This mistake is a whole lot of NOPE.

30. Don’t worry, this kind of mistake happens to everyone.

31. So close, yet so far.

Hmm, maybe architecture school ISN’T that hard…
