Fire amid ice

One of his commenters, R. de Haan, came up with this good aerial video emphasizing the weird juxtaposition of fire and ice. Flooding from melting ice is the main fear now. (Unless you’re a Scientologist worried about Xenu’s attitude.)

UPDATE:  The flooding hasn’t occurred but now the worry is that this eruption, as it has in the past, will trigger the eruption of Katla, a much bigger volcano which would have hemispheric effects.

Renee’s crush

Posted on February 1, 2009 | Comments Off on Renee’s crush

Like a lot of people, I was smitten by Texan Renee Zellweger the first time I saw her. (And by one of the Zellweger look-alike moms I subsequently saw at one of Mr. B.’s first little league games.) But I knew the Hollyweird Renee was a few tortillas shy of an enchillada even before she married (and quickly divorced) that Hat Act Chesney–I wonder, did he take that stupid-looking black straw hat off in bed? Probably not.

So I was prepared for Renee’s latest big snoozer: her crush on that worm of a one-term ex-president Jimmy Carter. But, for me, the real news comes from Ace of Spades: the poor creature has turned over her bank account to Scientology. She’s another believer in Xenu’s imprisonment of sinful souls in volcanoes–one of the least toxic idiocies of the fraud. Don’t tell Jimmy, Renee. Southern Baptists (as you should know, having grown up in their midst) ain’t fond of that malarky. But me? Well, I’ve already got two former Infantry OCS buds who believe in UFOs, though only one of them asserts that the UFOs are actually running everything. So good luck, Renee. You’re going to need it.
