MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL VOLCANIC MONUMENT
(Reuters) - Mount St. Helens spewed steam and gray ash from a small
explosive eruption in its crater on Friday, as the volcano in Washington
state awoke from its slumber for the first time in nearly two decades.

1. God is angry that Kerry beat Bush in the debate

He's getting ready to spew devastation across the country if we do not mend our ways and bow down to his Chosen. Only the ritual sacrifice of Kerry himself can save us now!

2. Dammit!

I'm one state south and the wind's blowing straight down the Willamette Valley.

Looks like a steam-fart to me ... the grass fires are worse around here.

Still ........ :scared:

4. Right, it lasted for about 20 minutes, big woop

I doubt this earth burp was what accounted for all the seismic activity over the past week, but who knows?

If you're hoping for bigger and better things, CBS News has a live feed from the site, a shot of the now quiet crater and a bunch of people with cameras. Even the pictures from the helicopter weren't all that interesting, as it was pretty much all over by the time they got up there.

3. Suspicious Timing

I'd say and right after the first debate. Well!
