This doesn't seem very big. Is this unusual in LA? We felt one in W. TX once.

Bush's fault. He didn't spend enough billions making LA earthquake-proof.

Experts, please way in as to whether this quake is big enough to mean anything.

Louisiana... my home state. All I can think of is that old spiritual: "Maybe God's Tryin to Tell You Something." Is that the title? No matter. Obviously, God's tryin' to tell them something.

Yes, I'm sure that instead of trying to prevent this, Bush was spending all his time listening in on people discussing over the phone how much they dislike their mother-in-laws.
