Founding Fathers rolling in their graves after the nonsense coming this week from the NAACP against the tea party movement.
That was not a fun way to wake up this morning. I prefer alarm clocks.

The demons is lookin’ for da bam to take him back where he belong. Da demonhood.
Keep an eye on the New Madrid.
God is trying to get their attention.
Shake it, shake it Sugaree.......
Felt the bed move, thought it was the Mrs. Then again, maybe it was!
That came a bit early; wait until you see the DC earthquake in November.
I felt it here in Loudoun, across the Potomac. I was half asleep when our building shook gently and something in my room fell to the floor. This is the second earthquake I’ve experienced—the first was a mag 4.5 in 2003 during my first year in Charlottesville.
Thanks for the update. It sounded like thunder at first or even a large rocket lifting off. Felt like a frieght train. I actually thought it came from the sky.
Heard something that sounded like a big truck going by, near Greenbelt. I live near the Beltway so it might have really been a truck, but it struck me as odd at the time.
Hey congress...you sure you wanna fund abortion???
I remember a small rumble thing back in...I guess it was the late 80’s, early 90’s. I lived in Glen Burnie at the time. I was married to a cop at the time. It happened in the early evening. He was walking across the floor and stopped when the earth shook. “Did you feel that?” he said and I, indeed, had.
It was scary though hardly any big deal. The next day all the local media was in a bit of a riot mood.
There was even some sort of rumble here in the swamps of Delaware little over a year ago. It was small but my toilet wobbled and the water within sloshed all about.
Though many locals felt SOMETHING making the earth kind of move, it was never proven to be any kind of earthquake thing.
I don’t live far from Dover Air Base and you should see some of the gigantic things flying into that place. Best we could figure it was some kind of sonic boom.
AKA Bush Fault.
Several years ago there was a 4.9 quake centered south of Chattanooga which was felt in metro Atlanta. It was 5 am and my husband had just pulled out of the driveway.
I heard the attic rafters shake. The shaking noise moved from the attic to the basement in that order, but I did not feel anything. 8 miles away, it knocked my nephew out of bed. He felt it, LOL!
I had never experienced one before. I called my husband on the phone and told him I thought there had just been an earthquake. In that loving way only a husband can do, he told me I was crazy. I love it when I can say I told you so.
LOL!
sadly true
What was that quip obama made about “No armageddon”?
Wait until you get one well into the 7’s ;-)
