HOLLYWOOD – While on the phone, during yet another exasperating conversation with a Congressional office, I noticed the sky above BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters begin turning oddly orange. It turns out a large brush fire, just over the hill near the Universal and Warner Bros. Studios, was burning out of control. In a potential disaster for the entire nation, indeed the world, the “Hollywood Sign” itself sits nearby.
With our photography staff (Desi) away on assignment (lunch in Santa Monica), we’ll have to rely on photos from the media….
As the wind seems to have changed directions moments ago, the orange sky over our corporate headquarters has begun to turn blue again. So it seems that all staff members will likely be spared, this afternoon at least, from an horribly tragic apocalyptic ending. We’ll let you know if the situation changes.
Hopefully the wind won’t change directions and catch the Hollywooden sign on fire. Is it fire-proof?
Years ago i was eating lunch with a friend on the roof of a Signa Health building that was being constructed in that area. The day before we could sort of see the Hollywood sign about 10 miles away however that day we were like what the heck happened to the sign? The next 3 days it was completely obscured by smog.
So funny i could cough.
Inspect the hoses just in case you have to water down the corporate estates.

I would expect that all of you liberal Hollywood types would have manned (or womanned) the hoses to protect that sign.
Fires in the Justice Department too!
The Justice Department officials who were selected to be interviewed hit merely the tip of this iceberg. It is extremely important that the House and Senate Judiciary Committee’s interview John Nowacki, Principal Deputy Director as well as the Acting Counsel to the Director in the Executive Office of the Justice Department, in order to establish the links between the Justice Department officials, the US Attorney’s in the field, and the political operatives who helped remove the targeted US Attorney’s. I have gathered and organized every document released so far from the Justice Department relating to John Nowacki as well as background information on his relationship with the Federalist Society. You will be shocked at how many key pieces of information he gives to Paul McNulty, William Moschella, Michael Elston, William Mercer, Monica Goodling, and former employees Michael Battle and Kyle Sampson.

Thankfully they got it out rather swiftly. The Democratic Daily World News Headquarters was under the orange sky for a while too with smoke billowing our way. Two teens from out of town have been arrested – seems they were setting off fireworks and that could have triggered the fire.
Pamela – Thanks for the update. Perhaps the LA-based Association of World News Headquarters should meet to discuss fire evacuation cotingencies, plans for keeping important documents in a fireproof location (is Yucca Mountain still available?), the assurance of chain of command and the continuation of blogging in the event of such a disaster…and to have many drinks.
“…from the local media…”
For future consideration, I think you meant to say, “…from the BradBlog Eye-in-the-Sky Camera Team Aboard BradBlog Chopper 1…” Or words to that effect?
Sam –
Good point. We got to get us a chopper! We’ll park it next to the BRAD BLOG Doppler 10 Million Weather Center!
