Jindal's volcano remark has some fuming

I confess that my first thought when he uttered that particular inanity was "Gosh, Bobby, why don't we just get rid of that whole National Hurricane Center? Instead of watching storms in the Atlantic, we should be watching spending storms in Washington!"

These people are losing it so badly that I actually had a friend retell an old lawyer joke the other day with Republicans as the butt: How can you tell if a Republican's lying? His lips are moving...

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal took a swipe at federal spending to monitor volcanoes in the GOP response to President Obama's address to Congress. That has the mayor of one city in the shadow of Mount St. Helens fuming. "Does the governor have a volcano in his backyard?" the mayor of Vancouver, Washington, said. "We have one that's very active."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
