Tonight, Washington D.C. recovers from an earthquake and prepares for a hurricane. On Monday, Colorado had a magnitude 5.3 quake, its largest in nearly forty years. And earlier today in the city of Tripoli, rebel forces invaded the Gaddafi compound and
ran off with one of his favorite hats.
Taken all together, I think we can finally presume this to be the beginnings of the apocalypse.
First reports are indicating that the East Coast earthquake was centered under Eric Cantor's congressional district, so if you're looking for someone to blame, start there. Cantor already has proven a devotion to cutting the budgets of the US Geological Survey, the National Weather Service, and NOAA, and heaven knows he's no fan of stuffy building regulations, so it would be best to speculate that God is simply testing Cantor's resolve, like he did with Job or with that fellow who got eaten by a whale—Pinocchio, I think the name was. Why God insists on involving the rest of us I can't begin to imagine, but I hope He and Cantor work out their differences soon.
