Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 26, 2019

This scandal stinketh much.

This gives new meaning to the term “Hot off the presses”.

Pyroclastic flows certainly put people out of their misery faster than climate change, or impeachment.

Once again, Herculaneum gets overlooked in the press. (They had the same problem in Gomorrah.)

Retort to spokesman: "And you can kiss my ash … "

POTUS hair color is totally natural. Absolutely, 100%. He just uses “freedom chemicals” to unleash the natural color of his hair.

POTUS hair color is natural. Absolutely. He uses bottled “Freedom Chemicals” to bring out the natural colors of his hair.

Thar she blooooows….

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” is a very real problem.

’The lava is all a global hoax," say the deniers.

It’s not all bad news, folks. We’re going to have a great wine crop in a decade or so.

All the talk with nothing done is what brings about explosions – of pure, incendiary frustration. More devastating in the voting booth than a volcano, with more fallout.

There’s a little town in Michigan named Pompeii. The locals pronounce it Pom pee eye.

Careful Wiley, the GOP will start using what you said as a defense of Trump’s impeachment.

“Heck of a job, Brownius…”

Waaah? How dah you!

Gee, both last month’s Smithsonian and Archaeology magazines had cover stories about the latest excavations at Pompeii. Wiley must read those, too. . .

Pliny the elder was the roman admiral in the region when it went up. A noted naturalist he was caught in his desire to observe the phenomenon and do his duty. he did both, recognizing Pompey was lost he sent rescue ships to Herculaneum that got mud rather than the cloud and saved people there but he died from his desire to get closer to the event himself.

The hot air from D.C. is mostly CO2, so yes.

Sounds like the alt-logic of today’s Climate Change pundits.

“The future is not set in stone,” he said as the ashes began to fall.

So true.

There are always some numbskulls that will think that a logical conclusion is a self fulfilling prophecy if it does not tell them what they want to hear. Why do they usually end up in Management?

it may have no effect on volcanoes but it certainly works in the stock market they talk themselves into everything

No problem, the President will be here to throw paper towels at us.

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary …

Nope. Talking about it still doesn’t bring it on.

Timendi Causa Est Nescire – ’"The cause of fear is ignorance"

Volcano Deniers…

Mount Trump just exploded in a fit of self-destruction. The cause of the explosion is now called the Mueller-Pelosi Effect.

If you build in a flood plain, one day you will be flooded. If you build anywhere on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, one day you will be slammed by a major hurricane. If you build on or near an unstable geological fault line, one day you will endure an earthquake. That’s “will,” not “might.” Yet homes are built on flood plains, the Gulf coast, and on unstable fault lines – and people buy them knowing they are on flood plains, the Gulf coast, or on unstable fault lines. Then they call themselves “victims” when the inevitable happens. Never underestimate the power of nature. And never, ever, underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Well know fact: Talking about unpleasant things makes them happen. Keep on the sunny side.

The guy told them it was coming for years, but people kept replying it was just a natural cycle….

I think they should all seek refuge in Herculaneum.

Here in Switzerland the climate change is obvious : 5 Winters surtout snow, they had to bring water to the cows in the mountain by military helicopters last year, rivers and streams drying, trouts cannot live in hot water. This year forests started dyeing. We will toast without the help of volcanos.
