Let’s also remember that you can have all the water in the world - but if the winds are that fierce, you’d likely lose the fight anyway. Any kind of wind makes fire burn hotter faster stronger.

Well, I did love the books I read as a child, or were read to me. And I also loved the illustrations. I’m not sure which ones I loved most as a small child – probably Winnie the Pooh? Not art nouveau. My love of art nouveau came later.

Illustration, a much neglected and under-appreciated art,

Not sure how I came from here to this, again today:

“Luckily, my office which is in – was in – my home, [I grabbed] whatever was there,” Rivers told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. “In my personal situation, that’s it, that’s the end of everything that belonged to my family and the history of it. To be 100 percent honest, I grabbed my mom’s Emmy, a photo of my dad and a drawing that my mother had done of me and my son.”

These are the famous people we sort of know. Joan Rivers via her daughter.

Someone of stature. Corporate talking haircuts are irrelevant and beside, care more about their paycheck than performing any civic duty.

I read today that the fascists at ICE were going to set up a phone number people can use to rat out “illegals.” If anyone on the left had a pair of balls, millions of us would blow up that line every single day calling about “a South African working at a car company who’s taking government money” or “a Slovakian escort who’s overstayed her visa and having anchor babies.” And I mean literally, a million calls a day. Blow up the fucking phone lines. Make the servers crash. This is easy and would royally fuck them up. But I give the odds of Democrats doing that on any sustained basis at slightly below 0. Democrats are always waiting for someone on a white horse to come and save them. It’s time to get in the fucking fight, and screwing up their evil garbage is a great way to start.

The center and left need to become as proactive, loud and pugnacious as the right. Otherwise, the right will keep ruling in the court of public opinion.

The rightwing pundits really need a geography lesson here. The story of California’s water system is well-documented. The northern CA dams send vast amounts of water to LA. There is a huge pipeline for that purpose . Water for LA also comes from the Colorado river. No one is shorting LA on water. The attempt at blaming the state is misplaced. The scale of water demand in the current conflagration is unprecedented and far exceeds the capacity of the dams you mention. This blaze is biblical in scale.

This is not new. LA is getting the Puerto Rico / Hurricane Maria treatment from the incoming administration.
