Sunday Audition: A Volcanic Eruption of Dishonesty

Dedicated to George Will.

Just over a week ago, the Icelandic volcano of Eyjafjallajokull erupted spewing a biblical amount of dust and ash into the sky. Or did it?

It's been over a week since the alleged "eruption" and the liberal-biased media is still tumpeting it like it was the most important story of the year. Indeed, the story has pushed all else off the front page, including news that fellow Iceland's fellow Euro-nation Greece has asked for a bailout of billions of dollars.

It could be a coincidence, but it's an awfully convenient one. The last time Iceland had a massive volcanic eruption was 227 years ago. 227 years of dormancy, and Eyjafjallajokull decides that mere days before Greece is to default on an 8.2 billion dollar debt payment.

Note also the similarities between Iceland and Greece - they are both socialist states that belong to the infamous PIIGS group, they are both famous for their epic mythological (and incidentally non-Christian) poetry, they both have a long history as seafaring nations. Indeed, it is hard to imagine two countries more alike than Iceland and Greece. Neither country even has english as their first language!

And the flight ban? No planes across the entire continent due to one measly volcano? When Mount St. Helens erupted, flights were barely affected. And she erupted again the next day. How likely is it that a volcano would erupt at such an opportune time for liberals, and in such a way so as to damage world-wide economies so badly as to make Greece and the other PIIGS not seem so bad?

What of the proof in the videos and pictures posted around the world? Well if you'll notice, all of those pivtures come from one source - people in Iceland at the time. Who would have a better motive for providing false evidence than Icelanders? Perhaps the Greeks, or maybe Democrats.

Clearly, any reasonable person can see that this is all a made-up fairy tale with the aim of hiding yet another failed experiment by socialist leftists, with lies running through the mainstream media like a pyroclastic cloud of dishonesty.
