Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 14, 2017

We all know who they’ll blame.

Just blame Obama like every other idiot does.

NASA has a plan!

Which is more than politicians and the media have…

Benghazi Babe did it!

Barack Walker Jefferson Trump Jr.

We can rule out the Sweet Meteor of Death.

Oh, surely you can try! Who’ll know, in the long run?

Without the ability and means to complain there would be no news media. It lives on controversy.

I’m going to blame Facebook and Fox News.

I’ve read about that from several sources (never trust just one, no matter what their political or social leaning) and I’d say “soon” is a gross exaggeration (never depend on comic strips for “hard news” either).

Don’t flatter yourself, guys. “All life on Earth” is a nasty exaggeration. I mean, granted, we’re probably hosed as a species, but life in general should pull through…

And when it does, ISIS will claim responsibility for it.

And Hannity will call for a boycott of SOMEONE…

Wow. I thought the Yellowstone caldera was in NW Wyoming.

Of course, if the cable news producer is getting his scientific information from the experts at the National Enquirer….

It was those meddling kids!

’S always the guvmint, stoopid.

Hot spots in the red states.

In fact, as pointed out above, another Yellowstone eruption is not going to end all life on earth. Maybe not even all of humanity. But the great wheat producing regions in the US and Canada would be heavily dusted with ash. And the sulfur dioxide released into the upper atmosphere would create a severe cooling lasting for a decade or so. Civilization would take a very big hit. Mad Max might look optimistic…

Also, it won’t be happening “soon.”

If it’s not already happening, then US society doesn’t care about it. Once it’s already happening, it’s too late to do anything, move on, next subject.

Hey, is that Lewis Black? Sounds like something he would worry about….I thought that was Bob next to him for a second, but Bob doesn’t drink Martinis. Could be Dabney Coleman’s cousin I guess. And trust me, we can definitely rule out Richard Nixon, eh? It’s never Richard Nixon…….See, cuz he’s dead…..

The paternalists dilemma.

And there is also one getting ready to blow “soon” under Naples. Houses are creeping up the sides of Mt. St. Helen’s, which is also getting antsy.

People seem to be determined to self-destruct.

Finally – a natural disaster that will “end life as we know it on planet earth” that’s not caused or exacerbated by human-caused global warming! It’s a Republican dream come true!

Actually, the caldera is going to have to step up the pace to beat human activity to the job.

#BreakTheDuopolyThen we won’t have all this sectarian finger-pointing.

They say cockroaches can survive. I guess that means the Trumpsters might make it through.

Once the nuclear winter comes, all the cockroaches will die. They are a tropical species.

I thought that it was all the fault of the Columbus and the white man? After all, we all know that if the white man hadn’t come to the western hemisphere the caldera would never dare explode and ruin the lives of the Native Americans.
