Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge

nedwolf writes "LiveScience is reporting that a 100 square mile bulge has been rising in Oregon. First observed from a satellite using a relatively new technology called 'radar interferometry', some believe this to be the formation of a new volcano. I think it's just happy to see me."

    We've invaded a country for trumped up reasons in order to settle a personal debt our Chief Executive Officer has about a conflict his father had with the leader of said nation.

    And we're proceeding to screw over the invaded nation and our own society to line corporate pockets.

    And we've done it all without having any kind of an understanding of the local populace or how to get a stable government up and running.

    If the Muslims have it right and the Jews and Christians have it wrong, then God is going to be PISSED. Hell, he'll probably be pissed either way. This is starting to look like the next round in a divine smack down.

    Remember, he only promised to never use a flood to destroy the entire Earth. No guarantees were made about using floods to destroy parts of it, or using other means to wipe the Earth clean.
