Fiery Sign

Fires are sweeping across southern California and I am wondering who will be -- or perhaps already was -- the first believer who will interpret the conflagration as God's punishment on those wayward, sinning, godless denizens of the West Coast.

Then again, the flames aren't seeking out the gays of San Francisco, the wine-country liberals of Northern California, or the purveyors of porn among the L.A. hills (well, OK, maybe some sparks are flying in that direction). No, much of the fire is crackling across the San Diego area, home of staunch conservatives and members of the military.

Must not be divine retribution, then.
