Crack Up



Cracks Discovered In Washington Monument

Best line of the day comes from Andy Bremmeyer of Wasington State University:

"Apparently, there is a well known fault line, running right through the middle of DC, called Bush's Fault".

LOL.

Cube - Talk about our infrastructure problem.

This is right at the heart of the whole thing.

All that fuss over a little movement of the earth. What wusses people are when they live in the northeast.

Now maybe they won't tell us how awful it would be to live in California.

Sue: It's an 125 year old obelisk and this is the first earthquake in that area since WWII. No one could've predicted the ground moving underneath it. It's got a crack, but it will be fixed.

I do feel sorry for the tourists who travelled to DC to visit it.

Like the time I went to the Statue of Liberty and her arm was closed off to visitors because it was being repaired. Still, looking out of her head was still an amazing experience.

Jan: Here in Florida, we often have a week of warning that a hurricane is on the way. We can prepare to hunker down or get out of the way.

Earthquakes just happen willy nilly with no warning and that's even scarier to me. I can't scoff at the fear of any people who suffer earthquakes whether they be frequent occurrances as in the west coast or very rare as in the east coast.

Carole King's song not withstanding, having the earth move under your feet must be a frightening experience.

Cube - I hope they fix it before it falls apart and kills someone.

Even George Washington surely wouldn't want that.

I got this from Z's blog. Sorry about the language.

Breaking from Jay Carney: "We apologize for the disturbance, the president's ego collapsed under the weight of all his bullshit.

TRUST ME

This story has been widely reported and is somehow a metaphor for the general condition in Washington. Maybe the earthquake exacerbaed and existing crack but the monument is over 125 years old and should be expected to develop cracks

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about
setting up my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Appreciate it

I almost never drop responses, however after reading through a few of the remarks
on "Crack Up". I actually do have 2 questions for you if you
do not mind. Could it be only me or do some of
the remarks come across like they are coming from
brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of your social community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
