Is Michael Moore about to blow?

Pompeii is really cool. I would have loved to party with those people.

[RightWhale]

There was plenty of warning for Pompeii. Most took the rumbling and plumes as part of the scenic attraction of the area and shrugged it off. 'Oh, that's just Vesuvius, it does that all the time, no big deal.'

Golly, the cable news networks haven't had a volcano to obsess about since Mt. St. Helens. As I recall, the death toll in that one was 1 old man who refused to leave. Now if Mexico City was to blow, that would be pretty cool.

Naples was a favorite liberty port of mine when I was a 19 year old sailor with hormones working overtime. On the other side of the coin I hated Naples when on Shore Patrol duty. I would love to go back some day just as a mature tourist.

Goat VICTIMS! What the fudge. The goats were for eating, and they just got cook earlier than planned.

Sheridan said the disaster that followed Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the U.S. Gulf Coast shows officials do not plan adequately for natural disasters. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Maybe I am slow but I fail to see how it is possible to"plan adequately" for natural disasters. Of course on the other hand any fool can make grandiose plans, the execution is a little more difficult.

Katrina, the byword by which all natural disasters will now be judged.

He's gonna blow!!

[Paved Paradise]

Naples is very crime-ridden now; not a good place to visit. If a volcano has to erupt, it's as good as place as any.

I've been to Pompeii and it's a very interesting place to visit.
