. John Thune tried to introduce legislation to log out firebreaks and clean the tinder up, but Dasshole and Johnson stuck with the envirowackos

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.

So, what do they call it FORESTRY MANAGEMENT? THUNE WAS FOR BETTER FORESTRY MANAGEMENT WHEN HE WAS A CONGRESSMAN? But, the environmentalists and Daschle "didn't get it". FV

A couple of hours ago, a special report came on the TV here...Governor Janklow was asking all of the residents of Lead to evacuate. The wind had changed, and the fire had jumped the highway.

The Governor, who is also our Republican nominee for Congress this fall, has been very involved in the effort to protect lives and property. My hat is off to him for his hard work.

John Thune showed up during the interview, and talked for a bit as well.

I guess Tim Johnson must have been elsewhere...perhaps he's off at a meeting of the Sierra Club or something... ;-)
