National News Roundup: According to CNN it's bad, but not that bad...

Things look good, but not too good, but pretty good. There's a very long fight ahead, but the firefighters are on top of it, but they are still having trouble containing the fires, but the winds are better, but not perfect and they can change at any time, or they couldn't. Damage could top 1 billion, or less, or more. The weather has been dicey, but is improving, but it could get worse, or better, or stay the same.

I quite liked this exchange between two of the reporters:

"How bad is it?"
"It's bad."
"It's bad?"
"So bad."
"Bad, bad?"
"Bad."
"That's too bad."
"But it's not all bad."

Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering CNN says this is so much better than Katrina. (Apples, meet oranges.)
