Scientists used a network of thousands of seismic measurement devices in the largest geological study of its kind, detecting the enormous blob upwelling under Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts  and possibly elsewhere.

    Earthquakes in New England tend to be very small, but they happen more often than you might think. Sadly, there isn’t much chance of us sliding into the Atlantic.

    Fermenting alcohol. Time line consistent with burial of Ted Kennedy.

    Hey,maybe “The Big One” will happen on the East Coast rather than the West.

    Let’s not scare all of those Liberals that live in those States. They might want to move South and infect the rest of us.

    Gaia’s going to smite Bernie’s lake house for selling out.

    It’s the blob come to life.

    And this is obviously Mother Earth groaning about AGW.
Which is of course, Trump’s fault...

    Somehow, some way, this must have been caused by fracking, climate change, or Donald Trump. Maybe all three.

    The Arlington grave of Ted “the Swimmer” Kenneday is guarded 24/7 because Scotch fumes rise from it to this day, and this attracts the homeless.

    Screw it...they're moving down here anyway! Wait till the new tax rules kick in and the federal gubmint stops subsidizing their stupid high taxes! It's a sh_t sandwich and we have to take a bite anyway, so why not have fun?
We should start a "movement" to save the Northeast and tell them they have to follow algore's advice and bury their cars. Would be cool to watch how many would actually do it...I expect a lot!
