If those guys were big Rat donors ... and if they were a union shop ... and if they were flying Canadian made planes instead of that Lockheed junk ... and if they weren't trying to help out a Red State ... then certainly, there would be no problem!

There is speculation now that these fires were set on purpose. Is it possible they were started to get Perry off of the campaign trail?

Why he shouldn't attend the debate:
1. If he goes, some will slam him for doing so.
2. It's not a real debate..way too many on stage..just a nunch of 30 secoind sound bites...he's the leader of the polls..why give fringe candidates a chance to whack away at him?
3. It's NBC/MSNBC/Politico..no friends of his.
4. There will be many more..indeed a few more this month..

I think teenagers are suspect.

Here’s a win-win solution ... pull the planes out of California, base in Texas, and let Perry contract the services directly.

Planes parked on the ground when they are needed is reminiscent of Ray Nagins New Orleans parked school buses.

That idea is so simple it would work.
Forget about help from 0bama's Washington crowd and just do it.

And W is still blamed for Katrina. He dared to follow the law, unlike the o.

with blame instead being attributed to tropical depression LeeTranslated (LOL!) I think that means that Lee caused a lot of strong winds without any rain. Several fires were started by electrical lines blown down by wind...and of course, the wind was making the fires worse.
I saw a fire in College Station city limits Sunday that was caused by electrical lines being knocked down.
