Clancy's Home Under Clear and Present Danger

Author Tom Clancy's home suffered $10,000 worth of damage after a fire burned up a deck at his Maryland home. Don't worry, the residual check from the next re-run of "Patriot Games" should cover it.
Clancy was home at the time, but not injured in the blaze, a Maryland fire marshal spokesman said. It took 50 firefighters about 10 minutes to control the fire.

International espionage is not suspected.

THIS is celebrity paydirt? That is just sad if the SS TMZ-tanic staffers think this is paydirt. This is equal to turning in an aluminum can to a recycling center. I'm just sayin'!

Only at TMZ will you find hack "journalists" making fun of a man losing his home to a fire.
