Fires, But No Floods, Fort Calhoun, or Fukushima

I'm only reading it and bringing it to you to show you, dear reader, what I am being fed by New England's flagship (sob).

"Firefighters were focused yesterday on keeping the fire from pushing farther into Colorado....

In eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, thousands of firefighters continued to battle the largest wildfire in Arizona’s recorded history....

Investigators believe a single campfire was the Arizona fire’s most likely cause.  

It wasn't an illegals campfire, was it (it's happened before)?

Or it could have been Blackwater.

Or the Feds for all we know.

Notice how the AmeriKan media always needs a scapegoat?

Even the weather is blamed on the non-existent global warming.

Get my point? 

But we did get this stinking piece of agenda-pu$hing propaganda:

Isn't Tennessee still under some water?
 
Spokesmen for the nation’s largest public utility and Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy subsidiary Generation mPower in Charlotte, N.C., said yesterday that the letter signed in late May outlines plans for building up to six of the mini reactors at the authority’s vacant Clinch River site west of Knoxville in East Tennessee....
 
The cost and who will pay it are not known....  
 
I think we all know who will be paying, fellow taxpayers.
