From news reports I have found it easy to get the impression that the southern California fires and the subsequent destruction make a pretty big deal, but it’s hard to appreciate the sheer vastness of the surface area covered until you actually see a map.
And Glenn Beck said that some folks who “hate America” lost their homes or something like that. Well, since we proclaim in the name of our site that we don’t hate America, I guess fire will never destroy our homes.
I guess that means if it rains tomorow, let’s fire up the grill and brown some brats.
…inside the garage!
In all seriousness, I hate when people get worked up when talk radio hosts come down with “foot-in-mouth.” No matter the level of douchebaggery they reach, it’s their job to be controversial. Rush Limbaugh has radio shtick to do. Glenn Beck has radio and television shtick to do. When someone takes what someone like Limbaugh or Beck says seriously, that person is no more reasonable than the conservatives who take them seriously and buy into their ideology. Why not go ahead and believe pro wrestling is legitimate, too?
When people are talking about what these people said, more people will tune in. Calling for Beck to be taken off the air? Pah-leeze!
