The DemoRats are only supported and kept alive by a cartel of extremely STUPID PEOPLE. Otherwise we might still have a Congress we could respect.

This wacky bastard is really blowing his lid. There have been wildfires in Californicate forever. What is this idiot’s motivation? Who does he answer to? Who shot Liberty Valence?

It’s ethnic cleansing of wealthy white folks by fire.

"...“One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming,..."

And the other, real reason is:
I’m sad to report this is an arson fire,” OCFA Chief Chip Prather announced at an early morning briefing. “There were three separate starts: two on one side of the road and one on the other, and obviously we are actively investigating that...”

Sorry Harry, you don't get to pass that worn out Global Warming boogy-man BS off on us this time.

I think he actually realized his mistake but too late. He just shoots form the hip, NO the mouth.

I have lived in Southern California for 56 years. Except for the few unfortunate people that actually loose their houses to the fire. It is party time, we meet neighbors we have never met before, many people with a drink in their hand. For the most part these people that lose their homes have moved into a nice new neighborhood on the outskirts of town. In a fire danger area. The Fire Dept is very strict here and demand you keep a buffer zone between your house and the brush and all new homes are required to have fire proof exteriors.
This is nothing new. I can remember back in 1969 watching the end of “The Fugitive” to find out who was the “one handed man”, and then going outside to watch the fires. Like earthquakes and living on the beach, it is just the way of life here in Southern California.

The reason you have fires in Southern California is that it is a desert and has been for as long a people have lived there.

Hey dummy, it’s the other way around. These wildfires contribute to the atmospheric pollution that is claimed to cause global warning. Are you listening, Algore?

Maybe he can get 41 Senators to sign a letter condemning wild fires.

Seriously, it is absolutely shocking that someone in a very high government position (Senate Majority Leader) is so ignorant of history.

Bad sign when a reporter asks if you “really meant that”.

How much longer are we going to have listen to Reid and Pelosi? Their act is getting really old.
