We call it that on this side of the state too. We can thank Tim Johnson and Tom Daschle for these fires, at least in part. John Thune tried to introduce legislation to log out firebreaks and clean the tinder up, but Dasshole and Johnson stuck with the envirowackos, made sure the measure was killed, and we very nearly lost a state treasure because of it. It's only going to get worse.

If we must be stupid enough to make sure the fires are a really big problem, we should have a really big plane to deal with the fires. The Ilyushin Solution. Converted IL-76 Waterbomber.

Very well said. That needs to get repeated across the fine state of SD repeatedly, loudly and forcefully, through November for a thune victory. Then on through 2004, for a Daschle defeat.

Spread this word farther and faster than any fire could ever match, but with all the flaming intensity these fires build on.
