Numbers 26:10: The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died when the fire devoured the 250 men. And they served as a warning sign.

Its got to be global warming and the fault of George W. Bush.

It amazes me how nothing is ever the fault of liberals or Democrats or their policies.

Exhibit A is the condition of so many of our cities. Some cities which are basket cases, have been run exclusively by Democrats for decades. Yet the democrats never get any blame for the wretched conditions of the economic conditions and sorry state of public schools in those places.

..or perhaps it’s the constant thumping from rampant multiplying of humans.

Because vomit-filled American dogs introduced us to fast food, make little emperors into not so little emperors. Now we go down faster than numbah one boomboom at Uncle Mao’s Happy Ending.

If you build cities over landfills, they will tend to sink.

Or graves...

Mexico City is sinking because it was built on rubble from previous disasters.

That makes sense.

Mexico City, which is sinking even faster than Beijing, at a rate of 28 centimeters per year.

Only 7,400 feet to go and they'll be below sea level. :-)

The state of America’s cities is something with plenty of blame to spread around to both parties. They have Democrat leadership because they are full of Democrats.

Even my own city, which has been led by Republicans and by Democrats, is pathetic when you get downtown and in the old neighborhoods. It’s just pure hopelessness. I work for the utility company, so I get into neighborhoods that I’d never visit on my own.

I’m not saying that Dems aren’t to blame, but they aren’t the only ones to blame.

I wonder what would happen if all 1 billion Chineese stood on chairs and they all jumped off at the same time?

Bangkok has been sinking for years. Or at least the buildings. I recall seeing one multi-story building circa 1978 that had steps leading up to it. Almost one full step had sunk into the muck.

Watching pile drivers sink concrete poles into the ground for new construction was a joke. It was like sticking straws into jello. It took hundreds of piles a few feet apart to get any kind of traction in that former rice paddy.

There are a lot of Chinese in New York City. Might want to keep an eye on them.
