Bobby Jindal Would Still Like To Know Why We’re Monitoring Volcanoes

Seriously. WHY?

Mount Redoubt, a volcano in southern Alaska, began erupting late Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The eruption, starting about 11:38 p.m. Sunday local time (2:38 a.m. Monday EDT), was obscured by darkness and snow. But the initial height of the eruption cloud was estimated at less than 20,000 feet above sea level, the USGS said.

Earmarks!
I Can’t Hear You!
Wasteful Government Spending!!!
Earmarks!!!!!!!

    Not that we would have been monitoring it, but a volcano off the coast of Tonga recently obliterated all of the plant and animal life on a nearby island. This was in between a moderate earthquake and a massive, 7.9 magnitude quake that also triggered tsunami warnings in the region.

    No matter how many borders we put on it, the Earth is one solid mass, and everything is connected. Bobby Jindal would do well to remember that.

    Oh, you hush, Oliver. Jindal and the GOP are getting ready to unveil a much cheaper, more “faith-based” volcano monitoring system. Basically, every month, we toss a virgin (easily identified by their Promise Rings) into Mauna Loa. This will please the goddess Pele and we, as a nation, will be spared the wrath of her torrents of liquid rock for another lunar cycle. It’s much cheaper than paying some “scientists” to monitor their godless machines.

    Why would Jindal care about volcano monitoring. He’s in favor of quelling volcanoes with exorcists. Private exorcists, not the inherently shoddy Big Government ones.

    Well… All the good insults are taken. Damn.

    At some point the Republicans will return to a party of Reality. But at this pace, it will take at least another major drubbing at the ballot box.

    It’s okay that they’re all male, right? And covered in Cheeto dust?

    It’s clear to me that all this mocking of Bobby Jindal only illustrates our fear – nay, terror! – that he will oppose President Obama in ’12.

    Parthenon – Ha! You libz think he’ll be running then? Don’t you realize the One will already be impeached well before then?!

    Rheinhard, thing about satire is, you’ve got to go a step BEYOND what they actually say.

    Then again, if you did that in this instance, just as well closed-fist punch the keyboard a couple of times and hit ‘submit.’

    Damn. If we’d only known Obama was gonna get a blowjob we would’ve gone with Hillary.
