Yep, we've recieved two so far and expect more over the next few days.

The sides are approximately 1200-1400 feet each.

Gee, I guess I must have imagined all those Humvees and Guardsman down there then.

As usual, you have no clue what you're talking about. The governor (a very liberal democrat) was complaining about not having the resources. When asked what she needed that she didn't have, she said "I'm not sure, it just makes sense that since they're over in Iraq they're not here when we need them". Pure political BS. I used to like her. Even voted for her once.

Kansas was recently hit with tornados and the "national guard" or what was left behind was nonexistant and unable to render aid to the victims.

I recently heard 'Ahhnahld', (R) governor of California, say the same thing in response to the Catalina Island fire. Maybe it was the Griffith Park fire. Dollars to doughnuts that if the equipment were there, it would not be used. I would even bet that there is equipment there that is not being used.

That's because for Democrats (and certain others), it's all about perception rather than substance.

Welcome to California where we spend billions building power plants we don't need and have never used, established expensive and useless air quality boards because California air is in no way connected to the rest of the air on the planet, and where it's OK for Nancy Pelosi to bulldoze two endangerous species wildlife preserves in the name of profits but no one else can.
