DID YOU FEEL THAT?

Yes!  I sure did.  And I'm in Boston.

At around 1 o'clockish, (didn't check my watch), I heard a funny noise and looked up at the ceiling thinking the people above me had dropped something. I then began to feel a swaying in the living room.  I looked down at the sofa table and saw the orange juice in it sloshing back and forth in the glass, as well.  I knew immediately it was an earthquake. 

I've experienced two while visiting my daughter in SoCal, and I remember feeling one when I was a kid and living in a suburb north of Boston.


Yes, it was a 5.9 earthquake and the epicenter was in Mineral, Virginia.

Any reports out there on the whereabouts of Chris Christie? He isn't travelling in Virginia today, is he?

TPM: "It's Obama's fault! It happened on his watch!"

Satire noted. In Republicanland, everything is always Obama's fault, Clinton's fault, Carter's fault, San Andrea's fault, Mariana's fault, Caroline's fault, Mohn's fault, Tan-Lu's fault, Keynes' fault, and Standard & Poor's fault. We live in an Age of Tectonic Blame Shifters where it is always someone else's fault except a goddam Republican.

Chrusty Christie is in Virginia today? That explains everything!

Nice Octo... I really loved Marianas fault...

Bin Laden was nailed on Obama's watch. Vicious pirates were killed. Qadaffi is gone.

Dayum! You'd think the righties would shut up before Obama decides he's had enough of their bullshit.

TPM,

I understood the humor, but don't expect the "morans" on the right to understand their idiocy.

From Media Matters:

"Conservatives Can't Decide If Obama Was Too Busy Golfing Or Biking To Stop The Earthquake

August 23, 2011 2:29 pm ET by Media Matters staff


Following the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the D.C. region this afternoon, conservative media figures have responded the only way they know how: by twisting it into an attack on Obama's vacation in Martha's Vineyard.

Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft put up a post announcing, "Earthquake Rattles Washington DC - Obama Goes Biking"

I'm happy to say, the only shakes I've ever experienced have been in my hands. No doubt they're Obama's fault.
