whoops

Addison Township (Bedford County) supervisors were burning trash when they accidentally burned down the municipal building and destroyed a brand new truck.

The supervisors left the trash fire unattended and “it caught some material behind the building on fire,” said Bill Barlow, chief of the Addison Volunteer Fire Co.

No one was injured in Tuesday’s fire, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, not far from the Maryland border.

Good grief. “LEFT A FIRE UNATTENDED” ???

And they’re the >supervisors< ?

No wonder this country is such a mess, the inmates are running the asylum.

No real surprise I spoze, what with a poorly-trained chimp in the white house for an example.

That’s impressive. All our board of supervisors does is tell us that because there’s a road on either side of our house, we have two front yards, so we can’t put our shed where we want to. I imagine they could only respond to a municipal building fire with a zoning regulation against it that just pisses everyone off without accomplishing anything.

Oh man

Good point. Is there anyone honest left? If so, why aren’t they running for office? What would convince them to run?

(In the interest of keeping things constructive, of course)
