Don't know about you, but I am FIRED UP about Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's speech last night. After "Communist-in-Chief" Barack Obama spoke to Americans like they were a bunch of babies (all the while scheming to steal their money and give it to the banks, which he would then nationalize, meaning he would get a huge year-end bonus), it was refreshing to see a politician who isn't afraid to speak to Americans like they're adults.
I'll admit, I haven't really been paying attention to the USA Leninism Stimulator Act, or whatever it's called. (All I knew was that it cost about fifty quadrillion dollars, and if you started stacking $100 bills on top of each other the day Jesus was born, they'd eventually reach all the way around the equator and into outer space and we'd all be forced to walk to the moon on a stairway of dollar bills made from how wasteful the government is.)
But it took Bobby Jindal's confident, manly speech and ferocious, slashing hand gestures to really bring home to me just how wasteful the Stimulator Package really is.
Did you know the USA government wants to spend your money on something called "Volcano Monitoring?" Are you kidding me?
Like Jindal said, "Americans can do anything," and that includes monitoring our own d*mn volcanoes. Seriously, how hard can it be? It's probably like ice fishing. Just get some binoculars and some graph paper and a thermometer and sit around looking at a stupid volcano and every once in a while, write down some data, like, "The volcano is still sitting there, lookin' like an off-brand mountain with a hole in it. 10 + 50 - 20. Pie chart."
Remember: Americans can do anything. They don't expect the government to fix everything. True Americans aren't afraid of the drama and risk of the free market -- the transformative thrill of creative destruction -- the hot explosion of the unexpected -- the dynamism of having your outmoded assumptions (and your home) buried in the burning lava of innovation -- the full-throated cries of agony as yesterday's losers are turned to ash and new, more productive members of society are birthed!
Ladies and gentlemen, Americans can do anything! Let's prove it to the world! LET'S ALL GET KILLED BY VOLCANOES!
More abstinence-only sex ed, a "pray away the gay" crusade weekend every month (with laying on of hands and speaking in tongues) and a Bible-based science curriculum in every school ought to cover it.
Though, I suppose to be "bipartisan," we'll have to let the liberals use their "geological surveys" and "geothermal sounding imaging" and the other assorted immoral witchcraft of scientism.
Actually, now that I think about it, even abstinence-only education is a bit dodgy. For it to work, you have to tell the kids what it is they're abstaining FROM. Can't have that. Better just throw them in the volcano to be safe.

The costs of hurricane damage are staggering and occur every year. Perhaps it's time to make that region closest to the water into a National Park. Residents could be backed up inland for greater protection rather than always rebuilding at a staggering cost.
I looked it up on the internets, and it's still just sittin' there mocking the taxpayers. Probably crawlin' with wasteful monitors.
Volcanos? Bobby Jindal has put you on notice. Rumble all you want, but we ain't paying anymore attention to your childish tantrums. Go ahead. BLOW! We're callin' your bluff!
The only thing that I did think sounded cool in Obama's agenda, was that dollar bill stairway to the Moon you mentioned. Then somebody told me how far I'd have to walk to get there, and there ain't even no Starbucks on the way!
No Starbucks in space yet? What the hell has NASA been blowin' all that money on the last sixty years?
A President has to care about every part of the country, not just his own state. Apparently Jindal just doesn't have what it takes. He doesn't even care about the people in his own state when he turns down cash to help the state extend unemployment benefits. It's not like Louisiana has 100 percent employment, there.
They never consider that Americans might actually WANT the things that they fight against.
Volcano monitoring is just a funny example.
Mockery combined with "you're on your own!" mentality is not what Americans want and need. We need help and solutions because we're in a mess from which individuals cannot dig themselves out.
but jindal graduated from princeton and was a rhodes scholar? wtf?!! what was he smoking during all those years of higher education at the world's finest institutions?
It would make Katrina look like an inconvenience...despite the lives lost Yellowstone will kill millions... maybe hundreds of millions...
We should be preparing a plan for the survival of as many as possible..
the good gov.jindal came dropped republican/conservative opposition to abortion!!!
"Health care decisions should be made by doctors and patients, not by government bureaucrats."
for the 30+ years it has been the republican/conservative view that when it comes to healt care decisions about family planning the choice should not be made by doctors and patients but by government bureaucrats
I highly doubt Jindal is on the side of Doctor/patients vs gov.
Nostradamus.
