9. Last on Coast to Coast....a meterologist who claims the

Russians sent a puff of air to push Katrina to the US mainland (????)
signed off with a comment referencing "if we had someone in charge who didn't read to 3rd graders", an obvious dig at Bush. Then, the date of Sept 15 for another huge event was cited.

Noory agreed and then said he just knows another big quake is coming.

Where will the NG be then??

Scott Stevens, meterologist.

10. Felt nothing here in San Diego

4.4 is nothing unless you're right on top of it.

17. Coelum, Fire, water, and earth. Ah Crap! This isn't good.

Looks like praying isn't working. We're gonna have to do something drastic. Like impeach Bush. God has blessed our beginings and is cursing our ends. They do not justify the means

18. Why does this remind me of what happened this past June...

When there were quakes all over California and a Tsunami warning along the California Oregon coast?

:tinfoilhat:
