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."
