Good Tuesday morning, Madtown Mob! Hey... Does anyone smell smoke???

Compare these two stories, and be amazed! Half the Western states are burning, and what does good ol' California do? They set the damn forest on fire! How many times has a "prescribed burn" gotten out of control? Like EVERY TIME! Can anyone say STUPIDITY?? If you ask them why, they'll tell you "because someone might set the forest on fire if we don't burn it first!" Uh... Yeah, THAT makes perfect sense, so do it while all the firefighting aircraft and crews are already busy fighting other fires in other states, so when it does get out of control, (and it will,) there's nobody available to pull these rocket scientist's chestnuts out of the fire, literally! Go, California! Incinerate all those endangered species you've sacrificed our economy to protect!
