They lit that candle!
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Big fire.  Crap...  Hope there is no big kaboom.

Looks like they ran out water.  Seems to be two fires.  Expecting a big kaboom any time.

ETA:  Water cannons back up.  Fire looks to be diminished.  Water cannons now turning off.

Looks like it almost missed the pad. Pretty darn close to the water cannon too.
