Eeeeek! Run for the hills. Oh, wait. Don't do that. Al Qaeda is gonna burn the hills.
Gotta give it to ol' Bin Laden. It sure was clever of the old coyote to have the Forest Sercus repress wildfire for the last century, drastically cut back on logging, and let our forest deteriorate to a haven for pine beetles and catastrophic wildfire. And then, to get people to build expensive, combustible homes in what we now call the wildland / urban interface.
That, my friend was a stroke of sheer malevolent bucking frilliance!
Only in Washington DC could you hear grown adults talk seriously of submitting wildland firefighting to the same perverts and hopeless f*ckups presently in charge of airline security. I'll bet for mere billions, we could theoretically save millions on wildfires. Imagine- all the effectiveness, compassion, careful spending and brilliance of the folks who brought us the TSA, put to work in our forests.....
Al Qaeda in Colorado had one hell of a banner year, yessiree.
Is this in hot air, yet?
