From Billmon:
(about the wildfires in California):
Now suppose Arnie were a Democrat, instead of a Republican and a pretend action hero. Given his, um, personal issues, his ties to the Kennedy family and his views on abortion, don't you think it's a safe bet that Pat Robertson and/or Jerry Falwell would be telling us the fires are a sign from God? Evidence of his heavenly wrath against the heathen voters of California?

Let's see. Blackouts in the Northeast, fires in California--what's next? Locusts in the midwest next spring? More yahoos, NASCAR races, and boudin balls here in the south?
