That sounds like it could be one of the side effects of Vaxadrine

My mental picture is that they'll try to make it a Lexus exclusive feature, kind of like Colbert Platinum.

"Folks, this advertisement is for Lexus Platinum owners only. If you are so poor that you're driving your own Lexus, please change the channel now. I hear NPR is having their pledge drive, why don't you tune into that?

...

Are they gone now? Good. Platinum Lexus owners, don't you think other cars ought to wait at red lights for you? Well now they can, with our Lexus-Opticom Light Changing system. The same system used by police and fire cars to give them green lights can now be yours!"

It's tagged whatcouldpossiblygowrong, but honestly, I can't think of what could possibly go wrong. A volcano, left alone, is already a stupendously powerful but usually inert thing. Note the usually. Worst case senario of an un-tapped volcano is untold orders of magnitude worse than worst case senario of a nuke plant, so what, exactly, could possibly go wrong?

We trigger an eruption? Not likely, we couldn't if we tried, we as a species can't generate enough power to set a volcano off, so it's especially impossible that we do it accidentally.

Our power station gets too much heat and melts? That's fine, once the pumping stops the holes will self close, they may ooze a bit first, but if you live or work in the vacinity of an ACTIVE VOLCANO you should really be prepared to deal with some seepage as is, just as floridians really don't have an excuse for not being prepared for hurricanes.

Terrorists? Somehow I doubt it, I mean, what's the point? "We have sacked the alaskan geothermal power station, now where are those virgins?" I suppose it could happen if you really thought there'd be virgins waiting for you, but how is that different than if they sacked a few windmills? I smell a crappy low budget hollywood comedy brewing...

Bears? Perhaps the most rational of the fears so far, could you imagine a grizzly with volcano power?

Seriously, what could go wrong?

What else does Kucinich carry around?
On October 15, 2007, Kucinich emptied his pockets onto The C-Desk revealing:
* The Communist Manifesto
* a pocket Magna Carta
* His lucky charms
* a tea cup, tea pot with water, and sugar (or more likely some type of communist sweetener)
* A pocket Rosetta Stone
* the Pocket Stephen Colbert
* Pocket I Am America (And So Can You!) (after Dr. Colbert gave him a pocket-sized copy)

If we never did anyting until there was zero risk, we'd still be living in caves.

You foolish children, shaolin monks, ninjas, pirates, and monkeys are NOTHING compared to the horrendous and frighteningly destructive power of those godless killing machines without a soul....

BEARS!

Why do you hate freem so much?

this sort of activity has tripled in the last six months.

Clearly you are referring to the Elephants.

This sort of thing is a pounding issue. In fact, this sort of activity has been trampled in the last few months, not tripled. It's truthy. I saw that on TV somewhere.

You sure you weren't at http://www.wikiality.com/?

Maybe what they really need is a chinese version of Wikiality

Anybody remember last year's "War on Christmas?"

I've since found a much better source of information than Wikipedia. It's a place where I feel that the information contained there is right. Or if it's not right, I can make it fit my version of reality. That place is Wikiality.

Did you know the number of angel swarms has tripled in the past six months?

Maxium fun with the subject, little harm to the truth.
