After Washington DC realized that the earthquake was nothing to worry about, they took to Twitter to joke about the source of the quake. Some of the best ones below: @TPCarney: Krugman says it wasn't big enough. @comradescott: Evidently the quake occurred on a little known fault line outside of DC called "Bush's Fault". #tcot #p2 @calebhowe: Breaking: Obama administration points out they "inherited" fault lines from previous administrations. @MaizeBlueNation: Fox News claims the Washington monument is leaning to the right, MSNBC claims it's leaning to the left. More news at 11. @charliespiering: I won't stop shaking until Obama makes a speech telling me that everything is ok and that he has a plan @Ben_Howe: As all of DC leaves work at the same time, the United States experiences a brief economic recovery. @daveweigel: Was all set to loot in Dupont circle, then realized all we have are taco and cupcake stores. @BrianHughes_: I wish I owned a bar in D.C. right now. #chaching @JimPethokoukis Shot: Virginia Earthquake Chaser: Hurricane Irene @politicoroger POLITICO had the earthquake story yesterday. Examiner Cartoonist @natebeeler tweeted out one of his special earthquake themed cartoons

Wednesday, August 24, 2011 DON'T FORGET Nature does not. This essay has a purpose and it's to challenge your preparedness. I am well aware that most of you have done nothing to prepare for shortages of food or water or energy. That is just human nature. The changes that are coming will not just be economic they will also be spectacularly ecological at times. There is no reason to enumerate the potential catastrophies that are going to befall the unsuspecting masses as we stress the planet and encroach upon the limits of its sustainability. We have gone long past that barrier years ago. Now we are just skipping rocks on the edge of the abyss. It can last years longer or it can end rapidly for many sectors of the globe as imbalances created by the current economic crisis put these areas in jeopardy. As more natural disasters tax existing infrastructure and the ability to respond... the likelihood of a repeat of the Katrina debacle will increase. Imagine as we enter into a devastating deleveraging across this country that saps the municipal and state agencies' resources AND we layer on a series of devastating natural catastrophes. Sounds dramatic but probably more likely than an apocalyptic end of the world catastrophy. These events have a profound impact on limited resources and can trigger wide ranging public mood breakdown. With those nukes standing tall thru out. They're ALL going to melt down...every one... Once a nuclear reaction starts, it doesn't stop until LEAD is the last element standing...;}
