Alaska's Mt. Redoubt Has Erupted
alaskana98 writes "Alaska's Mt. Redoubt volcano has erupted 3 times, with the first event starting at 10:38 PM Alaska standard time.
The ash cloud is estimated to be higher than 50,000 feet. So far, only light ash fall is predicted for areas north
of Anchorage."
The web cam just shows blackness
Can Governor Sarah Palin see it happening from her house?
Sarah Palin reports she can see it from her house.
The next Cmdr Taco duplicate will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!
I guess we're finally finding out how Sarah responded to Bristol's breakup with her fiance...
Well this should clearly be illegal, dumping all of that ash and those greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
Of course there's a Republican governor.
Won't somebody think of the caribou?!
"Kittens give Morbo gas!"
Finally, several months after the loss in elections, Sarah Palin let the steam out.......
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
Jindal was right! We don't have to monitor volcanoes, just wait for them to erupt and the news media will monitor them for us! Who wants to monitor them when they aren't doing anything interesting anyway? That would be like monitoring weather patterns out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean...boring and useless.
Mount Redoubt has blown its spout. Throwing ash and soot about.
You never expect irony, do you?

The only proper measurement here is how many MP3s would fit in a standard volcanic eruption.
Since everyone but Myanmar, Liberia and the United States use the metric system I just thought I'd point out the hight of the ash cloud.
In case you don't know this obscure "ft" unit. ;-)

Equipment for monitoring volcano's does not belong, and has no business in an economic stimulus package. How many jobs are created from "steam gauges, seismic and volcano monitoring systems and national map activities?"
Why even bother to predicate hurricanes if government is useless at responding to them.
"Government is ineffective, vote for us and we'll show you how!" - traditional GOP motto.
The first eruption, in a sparsely area across Cook Inlet
Good thing it was in a "sparsely area". That's a kind of spice, isn't it?
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.

New Orleans don't need government waste like something called "volcano monitoring". We should all move to places like New Orleans where they dont need to waste all that kind of money monitoring something that may or may not happen. ...Good to know I'm not the only one who thought Jindel bashing volcano monitoring was highly ironic.
It's a imaginary place in the Simon & Garfunkel song.
Kinda like Shangri-La, El-Dorado, Hobbiton or New Zealand.

And this is why parents need to monitor their children's internet activity, at least until they're 14 or so.
If corporations are people, aren't stockholders guilty of slavery?
wait for them to erupt and the news media will monitor them for us!
Why wait for the media to report it - some wordsmith on twitter is sure to get the news out sooner! (in 140 chars or less)
