  1. Well, THAT’S going to put a kink in air traffic for awhile. Remember when trans-Atlantic air traffic was disrupted when (I believe it was) the Iceland volcanoes erupted?

  2. Hmmmm. . . . let’s see the O’Bamazoid impose a carbon tax on Mother Nature. Unless he can pin this natural eruption on Bush (another sign of BDS – Bush Derangement Syndrome).

  3. John Kerry has been dispatched and is on the case!
    He is armed with full negotiating power of the US State Department and is prepared to open however many twitter feeds it takes to empower and validate the Volcano.
    Senior State Department officials have given the mountain billions of dollars in aid and stand at the ready to throw money directly into the volcano ‘if that’s what it takes’.
    James Taylor and Barbara Streisand are writing songs for the upcoming album to raise awareness of how Republican gun policies led directly to the eruption.
    Barak Obama will emote from a safe distance and announce how he has apologized directly to the Inuit peoples for stealing their Volcano with ‘White Devilry’ and vows a hundred billion dollars in aid for building and refrigerating polar bear ‘safe spaces’ so they can be free from Global Warming
