Republican Jarvis Heddon says California Wildfire Good Sacrifice

Jarvis Heddon, Republican alderman from Escondido, California, suggested that all "good Americans" should be happy to sacrifice their homes in the states latest wildfire crisis. Mr. Heddon suggested that since National Guard and Marine Reserves are tied up in the Middle East, and none of their equipment ever comes back from the Middle East for present personnel to train with, perhaps this is the best way for the predominantly Republican area to "get behind the President and his fight for global supremacy." Mr. Heddon then corrected himself, pointing out he intended to say, "global war on terrorism."

Not all Mr. Heddons constituents are so quick to give up their homes, however. Tarvis Jenway, of San Diego stated he "directly blames the Bush White House for the spread of the present conflagration." Jenway added, " If we had a national guard to support our firefighters, there wouldn't be half the conflagration we got now."

The President is expected to tour the devastated areas Wednesday. Many Orange County residents are looking forward to the visit. The area claims to be the "thru anchor of the remaining 24% of Americans that still support the President." Others call the entire catastrophe "karma."
