Chicago’s John Kass writes a  better lede than I could.   I think Republicans should author a bill proposing it,  just for the pleasure of watching Democrats try to explain what a bad idea it is.

Exploding earth…

You go to Iceland to shoot outdoor clothing and Eyjafjallajoekull blows its top,   turning you into an accidental nature photographer.

Others captured photos from above,  including one disturbingly reminiscent of Edward Munch’s  “the Scream.”

I’m sorry for all the travelers who can’t get where they’d like to go,  but it provides His Oneness a  convenient excuse to miss the funeral of those Polish government officials killed in the airplane crash.   He played golf instead.

The L.A. Times ignores the spewing natural phenomenon as it warns that   cleaner air could speed global warming,  providing an excuse for geo-engineering,  a fancy name for a bunch of scientists who want to tinker with things they don’t understand.

And is anyone surprised by Al Gore  taking money from Dow Chemical?  You shouldn’t be;   his interest in greenness stems wholly from his interest in being rich and powerful,  which is why he is pushing for cap and trade legislation.   Meanwhile,  the UN is still pushing for  climate change action.
