Where’s the Outrage?

Whenever a burn unit is bracing for more patients, you know you have a serious fire situation. Several sections around San Diego have been evacuated - Scripps Ranch, Del Mar.

From San Diego Tribute Union:

Hundreds of homes were reduced to ashes Monday as wildfires blown by fierce desert winds raced across a huge swath of Southern California extending from Malibu to the Mexican border, forcing a quarter of a million people to flee.

At least one person was killed and dozens injured by more than a dozen blazes that formed a hellish, spidery pattern of luminous orange covering at least 521 square miles of the drought-stricken region.

What happened?  Countdown got a new look?  They are still trying to find the right background for Keith Olbermann.

Anyway, Tom Gross of the National Review wins today’s worst person in the world but stating that George Bush because of his stance with Iran may have prevented World War III.  Yeah, right.  Bill is in second place for being the blow hard that he is and last but not least is Glenn Beck who I personally find to be much like Ann Coulter.  He seems to be able to say and do anything to be ultra conservative or controversial.
