If the entire U.S. of A. is covered in 2 to 100 feet of volcanic ash, who do we apply to for a bailout?

I see a man with a sledgehammer hitting a crescent wrench... OK,I can see that. I saw it as a man sitting on a bench with a jug held at arm's length, as if he's getting ready take a big swig. He just read the financial pages.

Who do we blame? Is this President Bush (43) or is it a side-effect of the Cheney-Rove weather machine?

I don’t know. An event such as this would be the ultimate opportunity to see the Follies in full bloom.

Who do we blame? Teddy Roosevelt. Thanks to him, we have a national park threatening to blow sky high!
