23. Isn’t it conveeeeenient …
The new Gov, blessed by BushCo, waltzes in with big federal tax dollars to help with this emergency. He’ll be hailed as a savior and adored more than he already is! He’ll have delivered immediately for CA; will he deliver CA for BushCo in '04?

I do feel sorry for the people who have lost so much. But living in shrub country is a choice they made. Why shouldn’t they be responsible for the choices they make? Why aren’t they required to be adequately insured for such disasters in high risk areas?

The news reported about someone who had been evacuated three times because of fire and was luckily spared. And was still “thinking about” upgrading the wood roof. How often can someone expect to get by on luck? Now that house is gone (while surrounding homes without shake shingles are still standing) and we taxpayers will be picking up the tab for their new house.
