[ronnykmarshall]

3. Oh shit

4. Wasilla, now that rings a bell

[PaDUer]

47. Must be the 11 million book

that the--what's her name--is going to write, and hired an expensive DC attorney...She's trying like hell to stay in the limelight, isn't she...she's history.

[WeDidIt]

5. The reserve was met on Sarah's Naughty Monkeys?

[Deja Q]

13. So Sarah Palin finally had her first real orgasm. Cool!

Way to go, First Dude! No longer First Dud!

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Yeah jokes about earthquakes are so fucking funny.

Jerk.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. I hope our Alaskan DUers are OK... 6.1 is nothing to laugh about

I was in the Central Coast 6.5 and that's when things get scary.

[WhoDoYouTrust]

27. We're about 80 miles north of the epicenter...

shook and rolled for quite some time, but no damage. I was ready to head outside, but it's too damn cold. Our neighbor was yelling at his cats to quit playing on the bed!

It's good we have these once in a while.

[Zuiderelle]

17. You joke about earthquakes and murders.

Very classy.

[J-Lo Biafra]

23. I'll take "People Who Need to be Cockpunched Repeatedly," for 800, Alex.

[JeffR]

24. Off topic

Your new username kicks ass!

[J-Lo Biafra]

29. Thanks! I was actually half-asleep when I came up with it!

:D

[EstimatedProphet]

34. And when you finally go through puberty maybe you'll understand why that isn't funny.

[PeaceNikki]

36. Kudos! Most people would never think to turn this into a sex joke. Well done!

:thumbup:

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Got my friend in Anchorage out of bed this morning!

[LittleBlue]

18. Why is this in the Presidential forum?

Aside from the Palin comedy :P

[MadBadger]

26. Its not funny at all.

How immature of you.

[MzShellG]

28. Only because of the connection to Palin. nt

[williesgirl]

19. Perhaps it's the Alaskan people rising up and saying "enough" rec'd

[Doctor_J]

20. Uh-oh. Can Sarah still see the Kremlin from her porch?

If not, there goes her foreign policy bona fides.

[MadBadger]

25. Earthquake Jokes are hilarious!

:eyes:

[Barack_America]

22. No tsunami generated.

A bit of good news there. Thoughts and prayers with those affected by the quake.

[Blue_In_AK]

30. It was a pretty good jolt here in west Anchorage,

rather surprising since the epicenter was 160 miles away. Some reports have the magnitude at 5.7, not 6.1.

We're pretty used to this kind of thing. I imagine my brother's family who live in Homer (50 miles from epicenter) got a little flutter in their tummies. :)

[MidwestTransplant]

31. It's a message from the big man upstairs. Must be saying heckuva job Sarah.

[Phx_Dem]

32. That wasn't an earthquake, it was God shuttering in

response to Sarah Palin's state of the state address.

[Blue_In_AK]

48. Ahhhh, you must have read it.

Wasn't that PATHETIC? Andrew Halcro had a very nice comparison at his blog of Sarah's 2008 speech with the 2009 speech. Either she had a really good speech-writer last year, or she's just totally lost it since August. Last year, she sounded like she knew what she was talking about -- what a difference a year makes.

[SunsetDreams]

33. Did they also too feel it in Moscow also?

[treestar]

35. Looks like Palin has at least one day where she doesn't

need to make an effort to get herself into the news.

[Orsino]

37. She should have returned the clothes a piece at a time, not in large bundles. n/t

[leftofthedial]

38. sarah can see the ground from where she fell.

now she thinks she is a tectonic plate.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. Alaska had a 9.2 and a tsunami some years ago

[Blue_In_AK]

49. 1964 Quake as ice sculpture.

This would be looking east on Fourth Avenue in downtown Anchorage.

[Thothmes]

40. The idance of tectonic plates continues

regardless of who sits in the oval office.

[Hekate]

41. Hope all are okay out there. They had a really, really bad quake when I was a kid...

All I can remember is how much damage was caused by the ground turning to jelly beneath the buildings.

Hekate

[DainBramaged]

42. Hope the pipeline didn't spring a leak........

I wonder if Caribou Barbie will apply for Federal Assistance for the damage to her driveway.........

[Bucky]

43. I'm going to hold off on Palin jokes until we know no one was killed

I like in Houston: mushy clay on top of bedrock. I don't know 6.1 from 8.1 on the Richter Scale. But I do pray the damage isn't bad.

[truebrit71]

44. ...and how soon afterwards did Caribou Barbie blame the media for it?

...10-15 maybe?

[Marrah_G]

45. This is God saying he hates Sarah right?

[MzShellG]

50. I'm waiting.....

To see what Pat Robinson has to say about it. /sarcasm

[VPStoltz]

46. I wonder if Palin stuck her head out her window and asked the Russians if they felt it too.
