How long before hydro-fracture drilling for natural gas is blamed?
Got a 6 mile deep drill somewhere?
I just saw a thread on DU about it. They’re already trying the spin.
"I had that idea years ago!"
Didn’t know Bizarro was in any of the Superman movies . . .
The only place where fracking should be prohibited is any place Barney Frank sits.
FRR-AA-AAA-AA-CKKK....

Top politically themed earthquake tweets
byExaminer Staff
After Washington DC realized that the earthquake was nothing to worry about, they took to Twitter to joke about the cause. 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.
@JimPethokoukis Shot: Virginia Earthquake Chaser: Hurricane Irene
@politicoroger POLITICO had the earthquake story yesterday.
Bush’s fault?
I rode through it in Centerville...it was a rumble that got attention. No aftershocks so far. I am at the air port waiting to head to Iceland so hope there is no activity and no fun and games in Iceland either..no volcanos eruption .
How long before the great Zero claims this was the cause for the drop in the economy? After all it is getting a little old to blame Japan (and Bush). And of course he can always fall back on Irene.
Sitting almost on top of the epicenter of where it happened!
The center was in Mineral, Va. and I am about 20 miles (as the crow flies) from there in Chesterfield.
I was upstairs in the master bedroom when .. all of a sudden I heard a LOUD thud and then what sounded like a runaway train coming towards the house! 8(
Looking out the window I saw the homes around me start to shake and then it started to Really Rattle and shake my house!
Some things were moved around but no damage .. at least none that I can see.
NOW .. we are watching for this Hurricane!
Some reports have it passing ‘directly’ over this very spot! 8(
I’m waiting for the ‘tsunami’ reports.
Our dtr-in-law is from NJ, was watching the EQ on tv from california, and mentioned that. My husband is a geologist, though, and he shot it down immediately. This must be a Talking Point that is used whenever anything bad happens?
Nawwww...it was because of the nearby nuclear power plant.
It’s the TEA party’s fault!
I’m waiting for it to be the Tea Party’s fault... Maxine Waters is warming up in the bull pen...
Barack could have been injured when the press raced right away to get the scoop on Martha's Vineyard and how this earthquake affected him personally and how this will affect his vacation and will the economy be affected.
I'm sure he “won't rest” until everything is regulated to the hilt because of this earthquake which is being, possibly, being followed by Irene.
