Hey dummy! A volcanic observatory is like the National Hurricane Center. Only for volcanoes!

How does this sound to you Bobby:

"Well I guess here in Washington, there's no hurricanes, so I can rag on money wasted for the National Hurricane Center and call it wasteful."

Idiot....

ON EDIT: Just to be clear, this is a response to Jindal saying that putting money into monitoring volcanoes was wasteful, and he wasn't even sure what that meant. Here's the relevent text:

"But Democratic leaders in Congress -- they rejected this approach. Instead of trusting us to make wise decisions with our own money, they passed the largest government spending bill in history, with a price tag of more than $1 trillion with interest. While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a "magnetic levitation" line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called "volcano monitoring." Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C."
