POPSWildfire evacuees grab pets and Bibles, then flee More: Lewis found himself surprised by his first reaction: He grabbed his Nikon digital camera, remembering his Gila Community College photography teacher’s instructions. “I don’t really know what I was thinking, except that I had to document this."… Finally, he realized he had to stop taking photographs and get out. “So I took my medical records, dog food, camera, laptop, clothes, a box of old photos of my children,” including his son with the head injury sustained in Baghdad and his 32-year-old art teacher daughter.” He also took his Bible and, of course, his two dogs — Karma and Smokey, an interesting combination for canine fire survivors. Later, he realized that he left all of his books and papers and schoolwork. He also left all his materials for the “diet craze” for which he’d signed up. “Left all that stuff behind — don’t know if that’s forethought or afterthought,” he mused.

POPSLA Official Blames Environmentalists for Raging Wildfires Biologist Ileene Anderson with the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental organization, said burn permits should be difficult to get because of the potential damage to air quality. Clearing chaparral by hand or machine must be closely scrutinized because it can hurt native species. "Our air quality, for a variety of factors, doesn't need to be further reduced by these controlled burns," she said. /tree-hugging eco-whacko

POPSLifting the Lid on America's Biowarfare Research Reporting guidelines are so lax that dangerous pathogens such as hantavirus, SARS and dengue fever "are not on the select agent list" nor are there requirements "that the theft, loss or release of these agents ... be reported to Federal officials." More recently, Global Security Newswire reported in June that an inventory at USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, Md., "found nearly 10,000 more vials of potentially lethal pathogens than were known to be stored at the site." The Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine was so-alarmed by the prospect that in 2003 they commented, "the possibility for genetic engineering and aerosol transmission suggests an enormous potential for bioterrorism." Unsaid, of course, was the gravest threat posed by such dark research may be state terrorism. Any one of these pathogens should they escape or made to "disappear," could be transformed into a doomsday weapon.

POPSProject Vote sues former worker Nearly one-third of the cards that ACORN and Project Vote organizers turned in were held to be invalid. Like I said - where there is smoke - generally, there is a fire - however, where there is billowing plumes of smoke - generally you have an out of control major wildfire on your hands! I'm sure someone else probably clipped this earlier but I'm on a rant about ACORN right now and with the thought of these hacks screwing up the census, it is nauseating to think of what they will do. (with Obama's blessings)

POPSWildfire season ignites research and debate A study published in the journal Ecological Applications last week explored the complex relationship between global warming and wildfire risk, suggesting that the creation of dry vegetation influences a fire’s destruction more than rising temperatures themselves. A case in point would be Western shrublands and grasslands, as they require a wet year, followed by a dry one, to produce the kindling for a large wildfire.

POPSAbout Compassionate Conservatism I know Bush was crazy with the spending, but that’s not really an excuse for Obama to airdrop gasoline on a wildfire. The conservative blogosphere really should start a fundraiser to buy everyone at Daily Kos helmets to keep them from hurting themselves. That’s compassionate conservatism right there. In Africa, newborn sons are named after George W. Bush. Yet his legacy to this country is the election of a black man — whose father was a true son of Africa. Bush saved over a million lives in Africa from HIV related illnesses. If that kind of compassion is "a contradiction in terms," or troubling, perhaps the bar is set too high.
