Flamewar continues, takes out San Diego

San Diego is about to lose their final electrical connection to the city, which mimics exactly what happened the last time I played SIM CITY 2000!

I remember that I dispatched all my fire crews to put out the fire, but it was too late, all my electrical wires burnt up and the whole damn city blanked.

Mass chaos, rioting in the streets. Dogs and Cats - you know the quotes, fan boy. Luckily the black clouds of burning asbestos kept the populous in check. Otherwise there would have been a run on the liquor and ammunition stores! The SimNationalGuard was on duty holding down SimSomalia at the time, so they were no help. And since they're not really trained for that kind of work, it wouldn't have mattered much anyway. All my environmentally conscious activists all ditched town too. You'd think they'd have volunteered to help save the trees, I mean, since they loved the forest so much?

Well, at least my levies held. I spent extra on those and had them built by my local cronies rather than opting for SimFederal money and the SimArmyCorps of Engineers.

The refugees were put into my stadium that I had JUST built. Man, that really burnt me up. There was even a game scheduled that weekend.

The part I remember after the fires were contained was how the advisers and populace complained, no matter what I did. If I built a hospital - they wanted a school. If I repaired a road, they wanted more rail lines. It was like it was rigged or something for me to fail?

Anyhow, it seems that if you comment on Blasphemes, you get a whole article now. So be sure to hit that comments button folks - before you know it you'll get your own blog!

Amen, brother

"Democrats are already politicizing the fires, using it as "proof" that we need bigger government and higher taxes. Senators. Boxer and Reid blame Iraq and global warming. Lt. Gov. Garamendi of California brings up Katrina, blames Iraq, and insults President Bush's visit."

...mmmm Yummy yummy Kool Aid.

Jesus, Cap'n, even the Hyperdine Systems Model 101 has said that they would have a better control of the fires if all of their National Guard helicopters were actually in CA and not Iraq. The same thing happened with all the tornadoes in KS last summer too. (BUt the Democratic Governor of KS was then reflexively branded a turrist-lover by the WH, why not Arnie?)

How do you think that shit gets paid for? Fairy dust? Would you prefer that we just have private industry fight the fires so no one has to pay taxes? A corporation like Blackwater or Halliburton?? Big Government and Higher Taxes!! Jees you sound like you reading from the daily talking points. Think about it, $2.4 TRILLION DOLLARS going to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan. That is your federal tax money Cap'n, if you want to bitch about the unfairness of the idea of the citizenry paying for the government' activities and services, try that one.

I also hope to see you raising as much of a friggin' stink in the next two months when the major personal property insurers are demanding federal bailout money (again your tax dollars) to defray their losses when they have to pay every single one of those homeowners claims because they are ALL insured for fire and fire damage.

Hey, there is a difference between the fires and Katrina, all the rich white people who built their $3M dollar homes in a area historically prone to major brush fires (it's natural you know) will have their homes rebuilt or paid for by their insurers.

Sorry for the rant, but no one should be allowed to use a racist retard like Glenn Beck as back up without being called out on it.
