A WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN' GOIN' ON

In our 34 years in San Diego, we've never felt a quake like today's. First reported to be a 6.9, it was revised to a 7.2 now. I'm waiting for the Obama administration to hold a press conference to claim "Hey, it's still under a 10! The stimulus is working!" That will be followed by a Congressional Commission, chat and group hug called, "Why Do Earthquakes Hate Us?" Clearly, more leftovers inherited from the Bush-Cheney regime.
