I love this interview because it misses the point more widely than just about any miss in history. True, once the fires were allowed to get completely out of control all of the resources they have for fighting fires could not have offered instant suppression of all the fires. The thing is, long before the fires grew completely out of control, when those fires were nascent, a few small acres, adequate water supply and pressure and adequately staffed fire stations with quualified fire figthers could have put those spot fires out and prevented the conflagration.

How about Scientologists? Can we at least laugh at them, and maybe the Mormons too.

If he was referring to denizens of that Isle he misspelled it and left off the proper capitalization.

Should have simply gone to stadium security and reported that the guy was seen in the restroom felllating a kid wearing a Saquon jersey, but a Giants Saquon jersey.

When you are working the fields and the tractor rolls over and pins you under it and the sun is setting and the night air is getting cold you want a woman big enough to lift it off of you, carry you back to the house, and then happy to cook up some brats. Then big women look pretty good.

That is a disturbing thought, particularly since McDonalds curently has the McRib on their menu.

Gay lezbos is redundant. Lezbos in positions is, I believe, a porn tape.

Fire is the Devil's only friend.

Sounds like elk camp and opening day of fishing. Each year we get together to hunt. Back in the day it was in Wisconsin for white tail. Now it is in Colorado for elk. Each year we also get het boys together foropening day of fishing in Wisconsin. Now some hunting and some fishing does ccur, for certain, but the majority of the tiem is spent playing poker and getting inebriated. (We do have strict rules about handling weapons when inebriated). Basicly twice a year we have an excuse to get the boys together and the wives don't question it as hunting and fishing are part of our heritage. We did this with our grandparents and uncles when we were young and who are they to interfer with this family tradition.

And I suspect, then, that you believe that any deaths in the attendees of the Buffalo Bills game yesterday during the next week can be said to have been caused by the game is a reasonable and correct proposition. I suppose those folks would not have died but for attendance, or would they just have expired, naturally, because that is what a certain percent of folks do every day? As I said, you go a bridge too far in trying to support your proposition, and in doing so you weaken a proposition which had merit for discussion. You oversell. You claim opinion as fact. You dismiss countervailing arguments without consideration. You damage the very narrative you would advance, and you do so consistently and you do not see it. I, and others, have cautioned you about your unexamined life, your unexamined posting style, your uncritically considered arguments. You do not hear, you do not head, you do not see. There are few so blind as thee.

I would agree with you that there are some extreme opinions expressed here. Whether they are expresed for shock value, to get a rise out of folks, or are sincerely held i cannot say with certainty. Ii suspect both are true. I suspect I know who is actually virulent and who just wants attention, but I try to leave it alone as I have never seen an internet fight won and I don't expect I ever will.

One does not have to be in a court of law to correctly and concisely understand the concept of causation. As for the bipartisan committee, lets just say i find most actions undertaken by politicians to be political and with an agenda, whether they can label themselves Bipartisan or not. i think most rational and cautious people do. i think you do not when it suits your narrative and you do when it does not.

Just an FYI, I did not vote for Trump, not once, not ever. As for the label "conservative", well it has been co-opted over the last 15 or so years to the point where it is no longer recognizable to its original meaning, and I don't believe it applies to me, but have it your way.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it. Deserves got nothin' to do with it!

Tim might have difficulty with the legal concept of proximate cause.

It is so statistically unlikely that it clearly is not random chance. Clearly fate hates you. Keep your head down and maybe Fate will turn her attention, her anger, elsewhere.

Which is why it is difficult to take you seriously.

Its pretty lumpy where I live.

As usual, a bridge too far.

I've been that guy, and it sucks.

Then, I would have definitely been up for Leslie Bibb. Now, well who am I kidding?

Metaphorically I hear El Deguello playing as we await the inevitable return of the Santa Ana winds. Nature is allowing no quarter. She seeks to slit the throats of those still left standing.

Now I see where Prince harry and his wife are touring the area. Haven't those people suffered enough?

So like Pete Carrol. (Plus Pete Carrol is always out on the field. he should have gotten flagged 12 times a game, each game, for being out on the field.)

Calling people out is, apparently, very important to you. You have hit this theme a few times in the last couple of days. Perhaps you can outline with greater specificity precisely what you would like to see in this regard. Maybe some AI generated bit of video of a Clint Eastwood style character in a Sergio Leone setting calling someguy out. Maybe something from the Outlaw Jose Wales telling the offending poster to pull them pistols or whistle Dixie. Perhaps you might consider that the most effective way to discourage trolls is to not give them the attention they so desperately seek.
