Yet another name for the band: Volcano Monitors

Jindal Speech

What’s with the attack on “something called ‘volcano monitoring’”? Volcano monitoring is where they monitor volcanos. So as to better understand, better predict, and better prepare for natural disasters. Is that so complicated? Are only hurricanes worth responding to?

Perhaps Kenneth Parcell Piyush Jindal Bobby Jindal would rather have everyone pray to Jesus to protect us from the volcano demons.

Apparently, Ben & Jerry’s came up with an ice cream flavor to honor President Obama (“Yes, Pecan!”). People wanting the same honor for President George W. Bush have come up with these suggestions:

• Grape Depression
• Abu Grape
• Cluster Fudge
• Nut’n Accomplished
• Iraqi Road
• Chock ‘n Awe
• Impeach Cobbler
• Heck of a Job, Brownie
• Neocon Politan
• The Reese’s-cession

• Nougalar Proliferation
• Death by Chocolate
• Credit Crunch
• Country Pumpkin
• George Bush Doesn’t Care about Dark Chocolate

I’m sure you do…

From:mary williams
Abidjan, Cte d’Ivoire
West Africa.

Dear One,
please permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you.

Please permit me to inform you that you’re full of shit.

I got your contacts I prayed over it and choose you as the next guardian of my life now.

Along with several other people, I’m sure.

I know my message will come to you as a surprise. Don’t worry i was totally convinced to write you in reference of the transfer of my late father’s money US$6.5M to your account for onward investment(Hotel / hospital business /industries) in your country.

Which country? Funny how you never mention it by name.

I am mary williams, the only daugther of the former Late General Richard williams, of Cote d’ivoire. My late Father was killed last two years following his role as a rebel leader against the government of Cote d’ivoire.

So you’re saying we wasn’t a very good rebel leader…

Following this political crisis,I was forced to leave our village to Abidjan the capital city of Cote d’Ivoire for my life sake. my father deposited this said money in a prime bank here in Abidjan and used my name as the only daugther as the next of kin. and told me to seek for a foriegn partner overseas that will help me for investment of this money into his country.

Sorry to say this, but your father was about as good a financial planner as he was a rebel leader.

I got to know about this information and as well able to recover all the relevant documents regards to this deposit through his foreign adviser here in Abidjan. If you are truly disposed to assist me in transferring of this fund kindly, iam willing to offer you 15% of this money for your effort made during this transaction.information about the transfering of this money legally follows immediately after your positive reply. please reaply with your telephone number.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.

Hope in one hand, and crap in the other. See which one fills up first.

Best regards

Miss mary williams
