Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pleading for more spending on fire prevention as his home state of Nevada endures widespread wildfires, and says "climate change" is to blame for the devastating blazes.

"The West is burning," Reid said Wednesday.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Nevada Democrat said the conditions that help the fires spread are fueled by climate change.

The last fire was caused by lightning and quickly spread to about 1200 acres.  High wind gusts and what I think was a lack of calling in the big guns sooner allowed it to quickly spread. It's now the largest wildfire on record in Nevada. The fire started in early July and is still burning.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

The last fire was caused by lightning which, as we all know, never happened before the Industrial Revolution and quickly spread to about 1200 acres due to SUVs.  High wind gusts, never seen before Global Warming® and what I think was a lack of calling in the big guns sooner allowed it to quickly spread because Zimmerman was acquitted. It's now the largest wildfire on record in Nevada in hUsToRy!!!111!!elEveNTy!!!11. The fire started in early July and is still burning because the Republicans are racist and oppose Obamacare that they wrote and voted for.

In a sane world Harry Reid would be required to wear a dunce cap and sit in a corner.
