Cheney in hot flames!

Today, vice president Dick Cheney's office caught on fire and they had to evacuate the entire building. Cheney was with the president when this happened and I wonder what whet through his head when he learnt that his office was on fire. At least, he did not have his gun with him at that time, so he could not shoot anyone by accident this time around. So it seems that Cheney may have to look for a new office for the time being,I guess there is some truth in that saying 'play with fire, you will get burnt by it'.

Boy confesses to starting the California wildfire!

The California wildfire that had destroyed so many homes and had killed about 14 or so people was started by a kid playing with the matchbox. The police have sent the boy home and an investigation is pending. It seems that the 'inferno' was aa creation of man rather than nature or a short circuit as it was originally suspected to be.
We have all been told by our parents not to plaY with matches since the toodler age and yet this has happened.

The inferno in question has destroyed 2,100 homes and blackened 809 square miles from Los Angeles to the Mexican border last week. Seven deaths were blamed directly on the fires, six evacuees died of natural causes and one person died of a fall. All of this devastation, it seems can be laid at the doorstep of one small boy. The question is whether s mere 'sorry' can really make up for the tragic loss of life that these group of wildfires had wrought on the suhshine state. We even saw the terminator man pitching in to help the californian residents. Personally I think that charges should be bought agains the boy's parents for what the boy did as the ultimate responsibility is theirs to bear.

Fire blazes across Greece!

It is sad to hear that nearly 50 people are dead as a result of these fires in Greece.the forests in Greece are totally dry as a result of this unusually hot summer and any small flame could spark the conflagration.that is what has happened.the weather has been acting up all over the world from snows in Argentina to rains in the mid-west.
Such unusual weather patterns are a symptom of a much bigger problem,which in my opinion is 'global warming'.anyway with such a dry forest all around,it only takes a very small spark to start the huge forest fire that Greece is facing right now.the problem gets compounded by people refusing to leave their homes.Greece is going through a trial by fire in more ways than one,indeed!
