just like liberals..always blaming white middle age men....
Who said they were middle aged? The majority of crimes are committed by men and the majority of men in America are white (well at least until mid-21st century CA or TX). Hence, it's not all that surprising the suspects are white men.

Bush will do anything to qwell media reports of this. The country would go into a fear frenzy if reports that Al-Quaeda did this got out.

it's still arguable about the northeast power outage -- what the REAL cause of that was.

Then again, it WOULD help the economy -- people would RUSH to their local HOME DEPOTS, that's for sure!

Pointy hat time?

Not just the hat, but a complete sphere for the full Faraday effect. The sphere must be constructed of magnetic metal and pass through the neck with no gaps to ensure no outside thoughts or influences get in. This will completely shield the head from all EM waves and attacks.

I don't think or even see why anyone would think Al Qeada did this.. The fire movement into the residential areas had to jump major interstate highways and that is almost impossible... it did it but that would not be a planned event.
Maybe Al Qaeda has a meteorologist and a climatologist on the payroll. I heard the authorities were looking for two white men in a white truck . . . no kidding . . . on NPR this morning. I hear OJ wants to ask them some questions as well.

Hehehehehe.. Why not.. :) They have found two 'Mid eastern looking' folks who keep running into the fire areas shouting 'Allah Akbar' but, they handed them a fire hose, some coffee and gave them a million each to rebuild their homes.

Actually, they blame the fire on a 'hunter' who was lost and was trying to alert his 'hunting' buddy by sending up smoke signals. The Forestry Service has him in custody.

If the Hunter did cause this fire, he's gonna lose his license for sure over this.
The good news is, however, that now that all the damage is about done the Federal Government has agreed to release tankers to put out the fires. It is good of them since we sent all our assets up north to help out there and they couldn't return to help San Diego. They say because it would have been dangerous due to the smoke. I guess they had a smokeless fire up north. The tankers should arrive at Point Magoo later today. Just in the nick of time, I recon!

all i did was ask a question, and reference two newspaper articles.

the news reports this evening seem to indicate these fires are much worse than usual for california, and that additional arson suspects are being looked for.

i don't know anything about what is going on in california (fires or otherwise), but i wondered if anyone else had read anything.

before the week is up, i suspect you'll be hearing this discussed on the network news shows.
