(CNN) -- As if they haven't had enough headaches in New Jersey in the past week, on Monday morning they added earthquake to the list.

The magnitude-2.0 temblor struck at 1:19 a.m. and was centered two miles south-southeast of Ringwood, New Jersey, not far from the border with New York. The depth was 3.1 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

An M2.0 is equivalent to standing under a freeway overpass. Is this really newsworthy? I’m biased towards earthquake reporting because I live in Japan. However, what makes this newsworthy at FR?

While that may have rattled some nerves, that is a nothing earthquake....shakes about as much as a big truck going down a residential street.
Still, I feel for the people there who don’t need anymore anxiety.

Chris Christie had to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom?

This is not rocket science as we all know it’s global warming.

The super storm has caused the earths crust to crack much in the same way a warm piece of glass cracks when cold water is poured on to it. Al Gore called me and filled me in.

Of course this is sarcasm.

LOL!

First thing I thought of when I read the headline was ... a 2.0?? Did Christie fart?

But, I thought that may be in bad taste.

This is good news for Chris Christie. It gives him another excuse to pucker up to Obama’s butt.

This is pretty series. Shouldn’t the election be postponed? Perhaps polls should remain open extra hours for those devastated by the tremor...

A 2.0 quake shakes nothing. You wouldn’t even see movement in the water in your birdbath.

Think twice about that, Christie's job is to get things happening asap for New Jersey. Pi$$ing off Duh-1 is not the way to make that happen.

It also leaves a lot of the animus for what does not happen square on the head of the very person who said he was 'going to slash the red tape' before jetting off to campaign some more. Now, it's Obama's fault, and no one can blame Christie for anything which would cause the Federal Government's assistance to be slow.

Because Christie toadied up to Obama, Obama now owns the mess. Anything done at the State/private level which is more efficient and exceeds the Federal response just makes Obama look bad.

That plan MIGHT have worked if Christie hadn't gushed about what a wonderful job Obama did. Now any problems look, by Christie's own admission, as the result of state and local failings.
