WOW! So, he finally got around to going out and taking a look, huh?!

Well, he probably was waiting for it to die down a little, so it wouldn''t overshadow his ''fire''! Or,

He thought it might be a little to conspicuous if he showed up surrounded by flames! Or,

He didn''t want to remind people that where he travels around the USA, he has been preceeded by disaster! Or,

He didn''t want to be accused of caring! Or,

He has a bet with Cheney on how long it will take before most of California''s trees are gone, and he didn''t want to arrive too soon before his bet date!

Or, He knew all these pesky western governors would do nothing but panhandle for disaster relief funds! Or,

He just enjoys being ''fashionably late'' for natural disasters---the later, the better! :)

Where is McCain''s condemnation of the diplomatic front Bush is opening with Iran?

When Obama stated that he would do so, McCain lambasted him.

The fact that McCain is silent on Bush''s overtures proves that McCain is pure partisan, nothing more, nothing less.

I think God''s eyesight is getting bad. He mistook the dry brush for a bunch of gay-hating religious freaks. God, next time, aim those lightning bolts toward the buildings with signs on the front that contain the words "Christian". Oh, and do it on a Sunday morning. You''re sure to hit a few.

I''ve been backpacking in this country. Absolutely beautiful. However, in the late 1800''s, a bunch of ranchers killed every Indian in the area: men, women, and children. A genocidal massacre (settlers did something similar in Southern Oregon and, of course, Tanzania is the classic example). If God were to punish the region, perhaps it was for this rather than the prospect of two people who love each other exchanging vows. But, maybe I don''t know God as you do.

The moon is made of green cheese, the world is flat, and God catches some of the most beautiful forest in the world on fire to punish gaays who want to marry each other.

Maybe there will be a huge backdraft. I''m not talking about one of his world-famous *arts, either.

Uncle D1ck Cheney sure has been quiet lately.

Is he still in this country? Posted by IOWEIGN


He is fully CLOAKED again. He only DE-CLOAKS long enough to operate the shredder late at night.

No. He went "home" - to the UAE where Haliburton moved to.

Bush: "Ha Ha - I might as well go visit that scorched earth, disaster area! Ha ha - it''s already a disaster, they can''t blame this one on me! Ha ha"


Calif residents: "Oh no! It''s already a disaster area! Why does he want to make it worse?!?"

The Great Emperor Bush II has stated he will visit California to get another of his famous "first-hand views" of the forest fire situation; from 10,000 feet UP!!!!!

It is expected that the Great Emperor will make the usual promises that he always has made to people who have been the victims of events beyond their control. It is also expected that the Great Emperor will NOT deliver on any one of the promises he makes!

After all, the Great Emperor is not too happy with Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger lately, especially his remarks regarding the Great Emperor''s lack of credibility when it comes to offshore drilling which were made on 60 Minutes last weekend. Suspecting that the Arnold''s Kennedy-clan wife may have influenced him "too much" in caring for people instead of for the profits of corporate America, the Great Emperor plans on making his visit as brief as possible so he can spend more time at the neocon Fascist Nazi fundraiser in Napa, where he can confound the neocons with his puzzled looks, and his speech consisting primarily of "UM, UH, UM, UH, UM, UH!".

Remember, the Great Emperor is 62 years old and his mind isn''t the "steel trap" it had been before, if it ever was!!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
sig heil, ABSOLUTELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!!
