Photo Derp Of The Day

This is a picture taken this past Saturday of Okanogan, WA, homeowner Brad Craig, thanking firefighters for saving his home from one of the wildfires currently ravaging the state.  If you can't read the message on his t-shirt, this is it: "Lower Taxes + Less Government = More Freedom." Fortunately, taxpayer-funded firefighters at the state, local and Federal government (U.S. Forest Service) levels were there to protect Mr. Craig's property and "freedom";  three firefighters have tragically lost their lives to protect the lives and property of others in the current fire season in Washington State.

People like Mr. Craig are all rugged individualists until they need something.  (See also, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare!")  We're sure this derpnozzle is 100% unaware of the irony of this situation. Because: Plays. With. Toes.
