Limbaugh: Armageddon Redux

From Think Progress, we learn that FatBoy Limbaugh has re-purposed his patented fire and brimstone rant. The Hatriot ...
talked about the volcanic eruption that’s affecting air travel over much of Europe, saying it was “God speaking” in response to the passage of health care [...] God may have replied. This volcano in Iceland has grounded more airplanes — airspace has more affected — than even after 9/11 because of this plume, because of this ash cloud over Northern and Western Europe. At the Paris airport they’re telling people to head to the train station to catch trains out of France, and when people get to the train station they’re telling people, “There aren’t any seats until at least April 22nd,” basically a week from now. It’s got everybody in a shutdown. Earth has opened up. I don’t know whether it’s a rebirth or Armageddon.
This reminds me of a childhood story - The Tale of Chicken Little.
