Mt. St. Helens just erupted. Can't tell you much more than that.

Kerry: You didn't send enough armor for the troops
Bush: You voted against ALL funding for the troops!

Kerry: You didn't increase spending for domestic terrorism
Bush: I increased it 300%

Kerry: We are winging it alone with basically no allies
Bush: This will surely upset the 30 allied countries who are with us.

Kerry: Wrong war wrong time
Bush: I question your ability to be President when you infer our troops are dying for nothing, and the fact that such statements only emboldens our enemies.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you, and God bless you.

[Darksheare]

Understood.

Small eruption, some ash and steam.
Rhyolite likely, but not the splosive 'type'.

Shine
by Newsboys

Dull as dirt
you can't assert
the kinda light that might persuade
a strict dictator to retire
fire the army,
teach the poor origami
the truth is in
the proof is when you hear your heart start asking
What's my motivation?
And try as you may
there is no way
to explain the kinda change
that would make an eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbeque hamster
unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign

shine
make em wonder whatcha got
make em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let em see good works and then
let em glorify the lord

Out of the shaker and onto the plate
it isn't karma it sure ain't fate
that would make a deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
and science seeks
a rationale that shall excuse this strange behavior
when you let it shine
you will inspire the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet
even bouncers who aren't happy
but out of the glare
with nowhere to turn
you ain't gonna learn it on "What's my Line?"

Shine
make em wonder whatcha got
make em wish that they were not
on the outside looking bored
shine
let it shine before all men
let em see good works and then
let em glorify the lord

BALLAD OF DAN RATHER
(Sung to the tune from the Beverly Hillbillies)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan, The documents were fake and he didn't give a damn; He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job, But up from the web come a howlin' mob.
Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast; Made a false report an' it bit him in the ass; He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.
Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men; And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them in; You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News, And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

Y'all come back, now, hear?

I'm really pressed for time today.

Sorry that I haven't been around much. Marissa and I will be attending our Support the Troops Rally tonight and there are some chores that I must finish first.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

[Darksheare]

Welcome.
Saw some video of it.
I'd say there's more on the way.

[Mama_Bear]
