REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Fires, vanadalism hit cars at dealership

WEST COVINA, Calif. (AP) -- Fires at an auto dealership destroyed several SUVs and a warehouse Friday. Other vehicles were vandalized with scrawled messages that included "Fat, Lazy, Americans."

"With all the evidence ... its highly likely it's an arson fire," said Rick Genovese, fire marshal for West Covina, a Los Angeles suburb.

The blaze broke out about 5 a.m. at a Hummer and Chevrolet auto dealership. Flames engulfed several vehicles, including Hummer H2s, which are luxury SUVs patterned after the military's workhorse Humvee.

A separate blaze about 100 yards away caved in a warehouse roof and sent up plumes of smoke. There were no reports of injuries.

The word "ELF" was written on at least one vehicle, a possible reference to the ecoterrorist group Earth Liberation Front. [...]

Fat? Lazy? Maybe so, Sweetpea, but I can always go on a diet. On the other hand, you'll always be an idiot.

It might be putting too fine a point on it, but these precocious little imps never seem to understand that the burning of a single vehicle or building releases more toxins and pollutants into the environment than a lifetime of driving done by a whole fleet of vehicles.

Morons.
