SANTIAGO, Chile –  Chile's Calbuco volcano has erupted for the first time in more than 42 years, and Chilean authorities have ordered the evacuation of the few thousand people living in a town a few miles away.

The National Mining and Geology Service has issued a high alert, barring access to the mountainous area around the volcano in southern Chile. The area is sparsely populated, with only a few small communities.

I always thought it would be amazing to see a volcano blow. Until it happened when I was in Chile several years ago. Mt. Puyehue blew up while I wan on vacation there. It looked beautiful from the Chilean side of the border. But when I got to Baraloce Argentina we got buried in the ash. It was not fun or amazing. And those puny liberals think we have the power to destroy the planet with our SUVs.

“Fracking and white people.”

No, it was the white men who “fracked” every mother in the White House. As a mater of fact, they were called “mother frackers” and it rimed with what Obama called white men...”mother frackers.”

Air pollution!!! Call the EPA (Extremely Politicized Assholes). Issue the volcano a CAA (Clean Air Act) pollution ticket. Threaten to seize it unless it ceases and desists in erupting.

There! That should show it how tough the EPA is.

The volcano, in reply, said, “If the EPA wants to blow smoke up my ass, I’ll show them how it is really done”.

Eruptions like this put out more CO2 and sulfates than humans would all year.
