The Santa Ana winds always bring out the firebugs.

Well, California is called to land of the fruit and nuts...maybe it should be now called the land of the fruit, nuts and firebugs.

“The Santa Ana winds always bring out the firebugs.”

Tonight the Nightline special report on the fires quoted one of the fire chiefs that about 15% of the fires historically have been set by arsonists.

As to terrorists taking up this as a way to cause the American people to soften up our policies. Obviously, they know even less about the way we think than we know about their thought processes. They have no idea how much this will enrage us, including those who are relatively liberal politically.

Actually, the large amount of rebuilding will create a stimulus to the economy, and more homes will be built or sold. I feel sorry for all the people who have lost so much. Thankfully, the communities learned from the last big fires and so far the death toll is only 6 compared to more than 20 the last time.
