These would have been funny, but the earthquake’s epicenter was not in DC. It was in a small town named Mineral VA and the people there were very affected by the earthquake. Businesses might have to close for good, schools were damaged and won’t reopen for some time, historical homes were heavily damaged, most homes were damaged. People in this area of the country do not have earthquake insurance. The earthquake was not a joke for this area.
“Don’t take life so seriously you’ll never get out alive” great quote from a great movie, apply it, yes its serious but its not like anyone died, buildings can be rebuilt.
I live 5 miles of the coast of south Mississippi and i laugh about Katrina. It’s just to relieve stress. And plus, i wasn’t complaining about being out of school for over a month.
It’s called dark humor, Lynda. Often used to relieve tension. “the earthquake epicenter was not in DC”. So what? The whole Eastern Seaboard felt it. The Washington Monument is damaged. Lighten up a little. Being easily offended is a sign of immaturity. I suspect you don’t like the jokes because a lot of them poke fun at Obama and his ilk.

The federal government has just put together a congressional bipartisian committee to study the effects of the quake on the chair itself and to find out why it fell backwards, not to the right or left. They intend to take ground samples from the area the event occured and have it analyzed by a group of scientists at MIT, who believe earthworms played a key role in the ground destabilization. They hope to find out why the worms choose the area under that chair and hope to study different color chairs with different weights. It’s also hoped that the study will answer the endearing question of why worms mate and how that act may have actually caused the quake. All at an estimated cost of $1.78 billion dollars. FEMA has also been contacted to provide assistance in the removal of the old chair and replace it with a more quake resistant chair developed by the pentagon at a cost of $6.3 million. Removal and replacement should be completed by early January 2012.
This is just part of Obama’s job plan to be announced after Labor Day. He will now take credit for all the unemployed Tea Partiers find jobs as commedians on the internet!
My cousins live in VA and they said their things fell all over the place in their garage. They are fine and so are we up here in South Jersey. Sure, it was a scare for a lot of people, but it’s good to be able to “balance” your mental and emotional mind by being able to laugh about it. I like this post and sure made me laugh–especially with a catagory 3 hurricane coming here in 2 days. Loved the post!!

Obama is to blame for the earthquake; he promised a 4.6 but we got a 5.8.
Marian Barry is looking for the crack the earthquake left behind.
The earthquake isn’t Obama’s fault. He doesn’t have enough gravity to pull it off.

GOP to try to lower taxes on upper income bracket, or as they like to call them, “earthquake preventers.”
Rick Perry holds press conference to tell Americans “Don’t worry about earthquakes. Plate Tectonics is just a theory that’s out there.”
Michelle Bachmann sends out her prayers to the earthquake afflicted people of Wyoming.
Bachmann to hold event to “Pray away the quake.”
