Mount St. Helens is WA state's No. 1 air polluter

Posted by timothy on from the it's-number-one-it's-number-one dept.

John Patrick Luethe writes "The Seattle Times has run an article on Mount St. Helens' recent massive pollution. The article claims that since the start of the recent volcanic activity starting in early October the volcano has pumped out between 50 and 250 tons of sulfur dioxide each day and has become the states largest polluter."

    Yeah, I was wondering how the lefties were going to blame this on President Bush. How about this: Halliburton drilled a well in Wyoming that fouled up the plate tectonics and caused the mountain to start spewing again.

    Yep, sounds like something straight out of Howard Dean's moutn....

    It's been an hour since this story was posted, and I've yet to hear a denunciation from Pres. Bush, therefore he must support this volcanic activity!
