Having survived the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, I wonder how people so ignorant of science get elected. Oh wait, he is the Gov of Louisiana. Makes sense now.

The take home point was he didn't know there are volcanos in the US. So much for being well versed in science.
My take home point was that I'm sure he was taken out of context. Perhaps he meant that we don't have very many active volcanoes. Science is very broad. I'm sure he is very well versed, being a Rhodes scholar. I wouldn't throw stones anyway unless I knew the exact nature of his comments.
BTW, what happend to your post? It's gone?

Twelve of the 50 U.S. states have active or potentially active volcanoes within their borders, but only four of those 12 states (Alaska, Hawaii, Washington and California) have experienced a volcanic eruption since 1900.
