There have been fires in the west for decades.
There you are wrong. As everyone knows before the Bush coup in 2000 there were no fires in the west, all was sweetness and light.
I think the fires are part of a giant insidious plot be Jorge Bush and his elite minions in the multi-national corps. to distract us from securing the borders. That way they can sneek throught the (cue the ominious music) North American Union.
Wait a minute. If the Earth is getting warmer then doesn’t that mean we’ll use LESS energy to heat our homes? Sounds like the Earth is self correcting. Except of course for that Sun thingy.
Would you mind defining this strange word for my aging mind??? (grin)
