Last night, Dante’s Peak was on.  It’s one of my favorite movies to heckle, not least because (a) the movie depicts tires as able to survive multiple thousand degree lava, and (b) I hate grandma Ruth.

But anyway, it was on last night and I joked about how Republicans tried to portray Sarah Palin as someone like Linda Hamilton’s character: Someone who has been through a disaster and has what it takes to lead the nation through another.  Just hours later, the Alaska volcano goes off.  Coincidence, or conspiracy?

It will be interesting to watch if Madam Governor tries to exploit this volcanic eruption for her own career, won’t it?
