Send Us Your Virgins!

As the Alaskan volcano, Mount Redoubt exploded again at 4:31 this morning, Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal reiterated his claim that the provisions in the Stimulus Bill to monitor volcanic activity were a waste of taxpayers money.
"We are wasting taxpayers dollars on speculative science!" fumed Jindal, "The evil spirits of the mountain must be appeased!"
The Louisiana governor stood at the base of a stairway that ascended to a flaming altar flanked by hooded chanting figures on the side of the erupting volcano.
"All we need are some pure and willing virgins to satisfy and calm the angry volcano gods" he said wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. The temperature seemed to be rising as lava began to flow nearby.
Governor Palin, in nearby Anchorage was wiping the volcanic ash off her desk when she first heard of Jindals request and stated, "Virgins? I'll have to get back to you on that..."

Thanks for a great laugh. There's sure a lot of fodder out there.

Microdot- Jay Leno could use your 'take' on the world of politics.

Perhaps we could add the Reverend Huckabee to this volcanic melodrama in some way...

With his 1934 Clyde Barrow haircut, Bobby Jindal looks strikingly like a 1934 Republican. Unfortunately, he also talks and thinks like one. There is very little new or relevant in Jindal's political repertoire. As such, he and his party will have little to offer nationally over the next several elections and will remain mired in regional impotence.
