I heard a stat on the radio today that the largest fire in San Diego is the size of the city of Chicago...

John and Ken were saying that the combined total of the fires is equal to half of Rhode Island. If half of Rhode Island was on fire, it would be on the news!

The east coast bias in the media is absolutely stunning. NBC is doing better than ABC and CBS, I think that is partly due to the fact that Tom Brokaw was a Los Angeles anchor first before he went national.

They really think of California as Hollywood, and not much else. We have deserts, mountains, forests, farms, more conservatives than the populations of the majority of states.

We are also the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world. The nation's grocer. Ignoring California is spiting the country. Close to 1/6th of all tax revenue in this country is produced in California. If we fall, everybody else will fall as well.
