$25 Flashlights
Matt Welch finds a guy who's actually bragging about selling cheap flashlights for $25 during the blackout.

On a more cheery note, my friend Ken Basart in LA e-mailed me last night with a list of hand-cranked flashlights. I especially like the look of this $40 fancy thing from Sharper Image. It has a radio, floodlight, flashing light, alarm clock, solar panels and a hand-crank. I'm pretty sure it has also has an espresso-maker attachment. (UPDATE: I'm returning the Sharper Image thing.)
