A 5.9 magnitude earthquake that was centered in Richmond, Virginia and felt as far as New York City and New England.

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly reported at 2:30 pm that their bureau received information from a producer saying that a Captiol Hill Police officer says that the Washington Monument may actually be tilting as a result of the earthquake.

Seismologist John Rundle joined Kelly on her show and confirmed that the Washington Monument could very well be tilting as a result of the earthquake and the structure should be checked out.

Two nuclear reactors have reportedly been taken off line near the epicenter of the earthquake.

If it leans to the right...oh wait guess it depends what side you’re on

[Evil Slayer]

Sorry. My bad. Already posted :-(

It has no mortar. The weight of the stone alone keeps it up.

Earth quake today felt on the east half of the United States and now a Cat 4 hurricane is on it's way to Washington D.C.

The God of Israel is not happy with the Obama administration, nor the organization who organizes the so called " Flash Mobs " nor, the organization who organized the attack on Israel the other day.

Better check with Rep. Hank Johnson (Idiot-GA) to make sure we didn’t lose any islands...

I don’t know how the mall po-lice could know this, unless there is obvious obvious settling around the base.

Finally, a shovel-ready job.

Cool, now we have the leaning tower of Washington.

Barak & his entourage better get in the middle of Martha's Vineyard - just to be on the safe side!

“Better check with Rep. Hank Johnson (Idiot-GA) to make sure we didn’t lose any islands...”

LOL, yea, they might just tip right over...

Did antone see Sheppard Smith’s reporting on the earthquake? He said that this was a non-event and that the only newsworthy event was going on in Lybia. He finally said that if viewers want to hear about the earthquake, they should switch channels.

Probably not a smart thing to say.

Not a surprise. The Monument was built on swampy soil and the height of it gives it a pretty radical amount of tortion in a quake with even the sleightest amount of sheer.

How’s the new “made in China” MLK monument holding up?

Shucks, easy as pie. Grab any body named Robert, march him up a couple or four flights of stairs, tie a rope around his ankles belay the line and toss him over the side. Once the swinging stops you gotch'er plumb Bob right there. Quick eye sighting of a vertical and done.

So far, so good. Just found a few Chinks in it, is all.

Nevermind that a recognized symbol of American heritage and history has been rattled to the core and moved out of its place... does this mean that DC’s eye of Horus has been blinded?
