Has anyone else seen the latest,

[janlyn]

from the " oh,my god the sky is falling portion of our populace? " Supposedly animals are fleeing Yellowstone. FOX station out of St.Louis doing the normal FOX routine. Hit em' with an armageddon headline then add a small disclaimer at the very end. Because, as we all know the average attention span of a FOX news follower doesn't last much past the headline. Sorry I cannot link to it I am on my tablet.
It's also making rounds on facebook.

I added smilies for clarity!!! I don't believe a word!!

2. I know.

But people aren't going to let a little thing like facts get in their way!

3. Well, Snopes is probably in on the comspiracy to hide the fact that a GIANT VOLCANO is going to

erupt in Yellowstone. That will counteract global warming, usher in an ice age, and be a boon to fossil fuels and nuclear plants. Solar won't work so well. Wind - hmmmmm...maybe even better!
And without global warming, flood insurance won't go up!
G. Beck will be selling overpriced survival food for more than the overpriced gold!
Airplanes may be grounded, and we will be forced to work on repairing infrastructure and building railways. Which will be great for unemployment.
Oh wait, those jobs have already been contracted out to a Halliburton-type of outfit.
The people who lose their homes will still owe the mortgages, but banks will be bailed out anyway.
Putin will try to annex the Rocky Mountains.
I blame the Illuminati and United Nations Agenda 21.

6. Actually, there is a giant valcano under Yellowstone...

but it doesn't really appear like it is ready to blow quite yet.

7. A close relative of mine sincerely believes the Yellowstone Super Volcano will erupt any day now,

but the government is not telling us so we do not panic. Evidently National Geographic or some other TV network had quite a dramatic show about this.

4. ESPECIALLY Fox viewers!

8. I got the same thing from an Eco Preservation page on facebook..

It ain't just the Faux-Snooze crowd.
