Democratic Senate frontrunner Ricardo Sanchez had pretty horrible Veteran’s Day, as a fire destroyed his San Antonio home.
The article linked above states that arson investigators (pace the video) have ruled out foul play.
I would like to formally extend my condolences to Sanchez and his family for the tragic loss, and relief that everyone got out of the house safely.
I actually had an inkling of this early in the week, since I had some Google search hits on “Ricardo Sanchez fire,” but was unable to find anything in the news when I searched then, just a tweet linking to a dead Facebook page. In fact, there doesn’t seem to have been anything findable by Google News until yesterday. Either major San Antonio news sources were unbelievably slow in covering an important story about a major public figure, or Google isn’t picking them up for some reason.
