Those DAMNED ICELANDISTS!
The Long Volcanic Ash Plagued Wait for Home
I’m sick. Sick and tired of those volcano-cloud apologists who won’t let us get on our damned planes and do the shit we’re meant to be doing.
I mean, why can’t I get on the damned plane? The sky is blue, for Christ’s sake! The Germans have flown ten flights, the Dutch have flown ten flights, and the Russians aren’t even paying attention. Maybe they have super-planes. Why don’t we have super-planes?
I think the whole EU has gone Icelandist. I mean, why does everyone believe them? If the volcano is costing the airline industry $200m per day, why isn’t there a NATO force attacking the volcano? Filling it up with jello or something?
Iceland has the population of Binghamton, NY. Easy-peasy population re-lo and bomb the place away, filling the volcano with some kind of resin-y goo which will give us all a break, and maybe excite an engineer somewhere to produce an engine that doesn’t die from volcano ash, i.e. the Russian super-plane.
I mean, President Medvedev flew to Krakow for Kachynski’s funeral in his Russian (super-plane) IL-96 (irony!), while everyone else in their Boeings and Airbuses and armored cars (Angela Merkel) stayed put.
All because of the damned cloud. Iceland’s a nice place. It’s the Icelandists I can’t stand.
Surviving on vodka and peanuts,
