All the enviro-whackos need to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to give them legitimacy.

Let’s hope our financial system can bounce back as fast from the Obama disaster.

Mount St. Helens is a prime example.

The part of Mt. St. Helen I saw was still pretty devestated. I wish I had my pictures in this computer to share. It was really eerie.

Yup, they do fine if we just let nature do its thing, rather than meddling in a process that knows more about what it’s doing than we do.

Thanks for the daily laugh! It’s rare to see such a leap to unwarranted conclusions.
