Tweet Share on Facebook August 2, 2006 CommentGosh, it's hot! Haven't you heard? Temps in New York City have crested at 100, with the mayor urging anybody who feels nauseated to get to a hospital. In sweltering Chicago, there has been the predictable evacuation of thousands from high-rise ovens after the power failed on the South Side. Several consecutive triple-digit days in California have been blamed for 140 deaths, with average temperatures in Los Angeles averaging 6 degrees higher than normal. America is so hot you'd think it's Iraq.
