We don't know if Terry is going to see any jail time, but at least the Forest Service fired her, which is more than I can say for the morons that tried to burn down Los Alamos. They got promoted into new jobs. Talk about rewarding incompetence!

"It's heartbreaking for her. She loves her job and she loves what she does,"

Yep, loved her job so much. So much so that she lit the damned monster so she could put it out and claim credit.

No sympathy here for the witch. She's lucky they don't make her go out and fight the fire with only a wet gunny sack.

No joke. I'm hearing all kinds of boo-hooing for this moron that intentionally started the fire. I don't see any sympathy for the people who lost their houses or the firefighters that were killed in the line of duty.

It's interesting that the media is still floating the "burning letter" story while conveniently blowing off the fact that arson investigators have discounted that very story. They are now saying that she intentionally staged the scene to look like a campfire that got away.

No doubt from the trusty few (hopefully few) that hear a single snippet of the story and then days (or is it "daze"?) later hear another and think "Gee, that poor girl, what are they saying about her now?"

She LIED! Why don't these people get it? The fire was a result of stupidity, the lie was not. SHE LIED!

Now we know what it takes to get a person fired from the Forestry Service. Lying, spreading lynx hairs, making our forests tinderboxes and working to push enviral agends will not get you fired. It takes:

Forest Service spokesman Lynn Young said Saturday that Barton was fired because of her "conduct." He wouldn't elaborate because the investigation is continuing into the Hayman fire, which has burned 137,000 acres, destroyed at least 133 homes and cost more than $29 million to fight.

It is really comforting to know that the rat/enviral infested forestry service still has some standards which can't be violated.

Yeah. You know that the Forest Service is going to be up to their eyeballs in lawsuits over this. They're probably more upset at that than anything else.

My precious McGavin, I keep noticing that LYING has gained new acceptance under the direction of the Clintons. Seems a few of us still get upset when it happens, but not nearly enough. I'm outta here for a while, my monitor has gone bye-bye forever I'm afraid!

"There's not a chance in the world she did it deliberately and this is just one more blow."

Spin doctor Work has yet to come up with an explanation for the confession.

Were there any firefighters who were killed in this fire? If so, I think she can be charged with murder. Is this correct?

Actually, I don't see them getting upset, unless the law suits connect the dots between forestry management and enviral nazi agendas that created these tinder box situations. Then, they will be really upset!

You can pick up a really cheap one at a used computer store. If that doesn't work, freepmail me, I'll send you my spare.

Five firefighters died as a result of a traffic accident enroute to the fire. Cause of the accident was driver error. The driver, Megan Helm has been charged with careless driving. One woman with asthma died as a result of the smoke from the fire.

Thanks Smed. I had heard of the vehicle accident, but I was referring to anyone who was killed while actively fighting the fire. I also think the idiot that almost burned down New Mexico a year or two ago should have done time. If a private citizen had done what that idiot did, he would be just starting his prison term.

I think the reason she was fired, is she is an employee who is still on a one year probation period. If they waited until she had her year in, it would be much more difficult to fire her.

Thanks for the feedback. You are probably right. If she had been a 10 year or more employee, she would have gotten promoted and made employee of the month, quarter and year!

Some standards, 'eh. Did you notice today's headlines in re this topic.

LITTLE TOMMY THE DICTATOR'S state is now, tragically, burning.

With all the bonfires, cigarettes thrown out windows, sparks from cars, and all the other sparks and flames ---how can they tell what started the fire really? I think they're still trying to make it look like humans near the forests are the problem and it isn't the government's poor policies.

I saw that headlines.

You know my suggestion re forest fires, and the enviral eco nuts that enabled this problem via their agendas.

Little Thumb Sucker Da$$hole is the Senate Posterboy for the enviral Nazis.

I suggest that we strap a parachute on his tiny Tim body, give him a hoe dag, put him on a smoke jumper plane. Then, allow me to use a cattle prod to get him to jump out of the plane to go down to the fire area.

Once there Tiny Tim Da$$hole can decide to fight the fire or hug a tree before and during a fire storm! Just make sure the plane is filled with over enviral senators like Babbling Boxer, ChiFi Frankenstein, pretty boy Kerry, blubber Kennedy and other enviral senators.

Da$$hole will put out some of the fire with the body fluids he will lose before he hits the ground... :o)

Stop the attacks by the wacko, extreme left-wing, Senate enviro-nazis terrorist's on our Freedoms !!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

Molon Labe !!
