<p>All of this is occurring on George Bush’s watch and yet he is doing nothing about it. If Kerry had been elected President, we would not have these kinds of problems.</p>
<p>I think he is also responsible for a lot of lunatic posting too.</p>
<p>George Bush having heard about this problem has announced a new tax cut for the rich, “because they have more to lose.” He added, “It’s gonna be hard work, but we will work hard on this hard working problem, and thats how work gets done,” he smirked,proud of himself for being able to say that without any of those fancy pants speech writers.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, his press office issued a statement saying that this was part of his “Build America Program” which states that volcanos are one way to add land which should reduce the pressures on the real estate market.</p>
<p>His Environmental Staff has announced that since there is new land being created, we don’t have to be as careful with the old land anymore and so we are cutting back on our restrictions that have kept companies from polluting.</p>
<p>Concerned about safety, he has found a contributor who needs a job and who once saw the movie Volcano and so is highly qualified.</p>
<p>That’s pretty funny Mr.B</p>
<p>MR B - haha i too have to chuckle at that one - right on - hahaha</p>
<p>Mr. Bush also proclaimed the week of October 22nd - 29th National Volcano Week. “A week of prayer and reflection is a good way to work on going about beginning the important work of the work in the week that lies ahead,” he said. Standing next to Mr. Bush, Economics Secretary Snow said that during this important week of work, the minimum wage would lifted, environmental restrictions repealed, and a permanent tax holiday declared for those with incomes about ten million a year. “Everyone needs to share in the sacrifice for the common good,” he said.</p>
<p>Secretary of State Condolezza Rice said a suitable vestal virgin would be sought among our third world allies for sacrifice on the first day of the week. “We are all in this work together,” she emphasized. Ms. Rice was on her way to the Third World Summit in Kinshasha, where she was planning to propose a ban on condom sales in the months leading up to October 22nd.</p>
<p>Bill O’Reilly interviewed a team of Cal Tech geologists studying the volcano, who expressed dismay that the Bush administration was not doing enough. They felt funding for further volcano study should be increased. O’Reilly countered by calling them a “bunch of hot-tubbing girlie-men who hate America,” adding that “you just want to offer therapy to the volcano.”</p>

He’d better not try that on CC. ;)</p>

<p>Thank you razor for giving us this to play with.</p>
<p>FWIW-- a couple of years ago, in the very area of the South Sister mystery dome, a huge forest fire broke out ON THE VERY DAY BUSH VISITED THE AREA.</p>
<p>FWIW-- a couple of years ago, in the very area of the South Sister mystery dome, a huge forest fire broke out ON THE VERY DAY BUSH VISITED THE AREA. It seemed highly suspicious and overly coincidental to both Bush supporters and detractors but nobody, could ever make a connection or decide what it meant. The final theory was that the fire had smouldered in the woods after a lightning strike as much as two weeks previous. Hey, maybe it flared in response to all his hot air!</p>
<p>Pat Robertson, speaking at Patrick Henry College, today lashed out at the volcano as “only a theory.” Robertson told over 700 cheering supporters, “We need to insist that educators give fair time to the discussion of intelligent mountains.”</p>
<p>
Oh my Gosh, that’s outrageous! I knew Bush was prejudiced against the environment, but where was Karl Rove when this happened?</p>
<p>…holding the Ronson.</p>
<p>I’m surprised that no one has yet mentioned that when asked his opinion about volcanos during the senate confirmation hearing today, John Roberts refused to comment. He said that doing so might limit his ability to enforce volcanic law in the future. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I think it is only fair to keep in mind that Bill Clinton was recently spotted in Oregon with a bulge in his trousers. When asked, he denied having sexual relations with that volcano despite press reports connecting a bulge with the volcano. So, it is not only the Republican party that is suspect in these matters:)</p>
<p>You go Carolyn!!!
Oh boy, I would love to know what you edited, lol.</p>
<p>Um…can you guys say that on CC…?!</p>
<p>umm. maybe not? Okay, deleted.</p>
<p>That’s better! ;)</p>
<p>(Hey, wait a minute; you really did delete it…shucks, sorry, didn’t mean…how’d you do that without an “edit” notation anyway?)</p>
<p>Edit: apparently it doesn’t automatically indicate “edited” any more.</p>
