1. Perfect Photoshopped metaphor.

You know Donnie will be golfing all weekend.

2. Someone should Photoshop Trump on the course lol

As far as I know, the image is legit.

3. Are there a couple of time zones between the golfers and the fire?

The fire was photographed at night and golfer are playing in natural light

6. I assumed the smoke was blotting out the sun, making most of the photo look like night.

But I could be wrong.

7. I'll be damned, it's genuine

Twilight looking the past few days in the PNW.

4. I have a literal mind. Are the golfers symbolic of our nation's resilience and endurance?

12. In my opinion....

they signify the ignorance of many Americans, where their distorted priorities lie, and that they're not really paying attention to what's going on around them.

That's just my take, but I'm a little on the pessimistic side since last November. I don't see a heck of a lot of good in the American electorate of late. Maybe they're just avid golfers.

13. Aren't you one of them? You sound more aware than so many here

who are constantly resentfully castigating "they," "the masses," etc., for their stupidity, ignorance, corruption, without ever, ever turning the light on themselves. Psychologists say many strong conservatives are remarkable for lack of insight into themselves, but they're not the only ones.

Just look what's displayed here every day. A disposition to yammering about political issues doesn't make one wise or knowledgeable. Neither does a disposition for relentless sneering at and disrespect for others. We have no idea what those golfers know except that we certainly should know that they are extremely aware of that amazing fire. That is their home, after all, not just a picture on a screen.

Btw, the Columbia River is between the golf course and the fire. Many hundreds with homes too close had already evacuated. These 3 golfers were finishing what they knew could be their last game on this course, which was closed today.

15. Gee, thanks for all that!

Got many more stones in that glass house of yours?

5. Why let natural disasters get in the way of higher pursuits?

That is, if you can call golf a "higher pursuit". To me it's the worst game in the world and causes untold damage to the environment.

8. Hey don't blame Oregon

Those are Washington golfers...

10. Something about somebody fiddling while something burned.... It's on the tip of my tongue. nt

11. Perspective.

Probably playing at Beacon Rock across the river.

14. OMG! Is this photoshopped?

If real, it's not just frickin rethugs that do this "fuck it, I'm rich and am gonna have my fun!" I know a i.n.o. dem who pays more attention to his $2m portfolio than he does to political news. Bought Halliburton stock when pResident Cheney first announced his lie re Iraq. I told him that was blood money.
