What are we looking at? >> im not sure. this is geology. this is to say an eruption in geologic terms is a blink of an eye, in human jet travel is huge inconvenience. i can understand why the authorities are playing it on the safe side. you get this ash in the engine, you could really get into problems. you lose two engines at once over a populated area. see, the thing in mount st. helens days, its near seattle, near portland, oregon, but the wind literally blew it the other way. we had bumper s...

And in "psycho talk" tonight, you educated geologists, you got to listen up to this one. the drugster has a new theory about the reason behind the volcanic eruption in iceland. its a very highly scientific reason as well. hes blaming it on the health care bill. >> couple days after the health care bill had been signed into law obama ran around all over the country saying, hey, im looking around, the earth had to open up. no armageddon out there. the birds are still chirping. i think the earth ha...
