Will gee whiz, guess who just got caught lying about forest fires?

If you said a federal employee(yes again our tax dollars well spent) who worked for the U.S. Forest Department, you win the $64.00.

Seems she was unhappy about her estranged husband and decided to burn his love letters. I guess she needed to do it in an open fire in a federal land area which had restrictions about having fires.

The good news is she was the hero that reported the fire.

Tell me, is it a requirement that you have to have an IQ of 90 or below to become a civil servant? Or do you have to have an above average IQ, but just no fucking common sense do go to work for the federal government?

There should be a public burning of her like we did to the witches back in the 1600s.

Have it at Broncos Stadium and sell admission to pay for Aspen seedlings.

I sure wish some of you guys would focus on the positive things those civil servants do to keep your asses safe. Oh and sorry to reply to this off topic government bashing post

I didn't see the issue being one of her being a government employee. What hit me was what she was doing to start the fire. Buring her soon to be ex husbands letters is a typical female response. Had it been a man doing the same thing we would already be hearing from the feminazi groups as to how this action shows the violence that all men have towards women.

Did I post something which was not true?
Did I post something out of context?

Will I guess she will lose her job and all government benefits. That does make me feel better.

I mean she will lose those benefits and pay, right?

Please tell me she will be fired and lose her retirement benefits!!!

The issue of being a government employee when she works for the U S Forest Department and starts a fire that burns down over 100,000 acres of federal forest and over 30 homes not relevant????
I agree that if it had been a man burning his wife's letters it would have been even more compelling, but please don't think it is insignificant.

I mean she will probably be put on probation and not allowed to work for six months while she is treated for her job related stress. Of course she will be paid during this time.

I know that there are government employees that do a good job and really do care about what they do, but the system is really getting tiring for the tax payer.

This is the USA government we are talking about here.

She will most likely get a promotion to an arson investigation unit and a hefty raise.

Alot of fires are caused deliberately by firefighters hoping to get the glory. I think she was an idiot for doing what she did regardless of the reason but I still think you guys are ungrateful pricks for focusing on the few bad apples in thousands that work to help you.

No ! You have to have an IQ below 90 to fall in love with a working girl.

(I think I may be talking about Ben & myself.)
