You should be ashamed of yourself. There are hundreds, no, thousands of brave men and women risking their lives to fight these fires, and you denigrate their courage and dedication? I live in Grayson County Texas, and our local coverage was replete with scenes of homeowners standing on top of their homes with water hoses, citizen fire fighters leaving their homes and jobs to assist those in need, and professionals leading the way. The three thousand acre Pottsboro fire was made worse because half of the equipment was in Achille Ok helping our friends and neighbors across the Red River. A grass fire is not the same as a brush fire by any stretch of the imagination-they spread in excess of the speed of the prevailing wind. And don't whine about those famous Southern California Santa Ana winds-people on the plains know a thing or two about wind. Today, as I look out my window, I don't see any smoke, I don't smell any ash, and I don't hear emergency vehicles tearing down the road. I say they did a pretty damn good job taming the Achille and Pottsboro fires.

By the way-we don't have the worst governor in the country. He's forty-second.
