LOS ANGELES — Firefighters are battling a wildfire that has burned about 130 acres in the Angeles National Forest northwest of Los Angeles. Forest spokeswoman Dee Dechert says the fire was burning Sunday afternoon in the Little Tujunga Canyon area. She says it is 60 percent contained, with full containment expected Sunday night. Officials say there have been no injuries or evacuations. Moderate winds in the area are pushing the fire away from any structures. The blaze is burning near the site of October's Marek fire, which burned more than 4,800 acres.

Cal state employees should call in sick for two weeks.

We have had a day without a Mexican, now let's see what happens when we have a day with a Cal State CDF employee.

Then lets reassess if we should continue paying for health care for illegals.

Yesterday, Blythe State prison air lifted an illegal from Blythe to JFK memorial in Indio- for a CT. His appendix hurt!!!!

Fires create tons of CO2.

CO2 is bad for the atmosphere.

Fires are hereby banned.

Was there an O.J. hearing I missed or was Rodney King cruising the interstate too fast again?

...Little Tujunga Canyon area...

I owned a house in there for a long time. It's a natural wildfire zone. It's a beautiful area, but you have to know that mother nature can take your house back anytime she wants.

That's nothing compared to the fires that will be burning when 1 million mourners show up for 8 thousand tickets...
