“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Snakebit!

I found this on Brietbart.com:

A FEMA trailer being used by a couple who lost their home in Hurricane Katrina burst into flames, severely burning the husband and incinerating most of their remaining possessions.

The blast, which followed the January explosion of another Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer, appeared to have been sparked by a lit cigarette igniting propane gas that had seeped into the travel camper, fire officials said.

Linda Meyer said she and her husband escaped through a portion of the trailer that was blown off by the explosion Wednesday morning.

Just how luckless can one couple be? They lose what little stuff they managed to salvage from the hurricane to a gas explosion…an explosion that destroyed the second home for them in less than a year. It couldn’t get any worse for these two unless Britney and K-Fed came to baby sit their kids.

And in the understatement of the century…Joseph Meyer, the husband’s brother said,

"I imagine he's going to take this real hard, at least after the storm he had his health."

If that weren’t so pitifully true, I’d be laughing.

I'm not the most sympathetic person in the world, but I genuinely feel for these people.

You can bet your last dollar that these people will sue FEMA for the propane leak that was ignited from their smoking. They'll get millions (not that they don't deserve at least another trailer, some new clothes and maybe skin grafts) from the taxpayers.

And here's yet another reason not to smoke...you could blow yourself up!
