Is this supposed to be funny?

I find it about as funny as toothache.

How old are you?

Twelve?

This thread is just like the Washington DC earthquake. Unexpected, slightly jarring, and not funny.

I am in New Jersey. All day long I keep on hearing --- Didya feelit, Didya feelit -- without end.

Yeah. I felt it.

where is the drummer with a rim shot when you need it?

Yeah, political jokes tend to be flat, monotone 'laugh a little on the inside' type things. I still remember Mike Medved having an hour back in 2008 for callers to dial in with homemade jokes about the upcoming faceoff between Obama and Clinton for nomination - it was downright painful.

I remember someone writing a joke about last year's earthquake in Ontario, Canada on a CNN blog. He wrote down,

"Do you know why the earthquake happened in Ontario, Canada? Because the people of Quebec, Canada are trying to separate their province from the Canadian mainland!"

Making tasteless and wholly inappropriate political "jokes" at the misfortunes of others ... how infantile.

Do you have an ounce of sensitivity in you???

Yeah uh, the anglos of Canada like to joke / bash Quebec about our intention to seperate. Whereas some of us just couldn't care less. =/ (and are franco-canadians too)

But yeah, unless you're well-informed, topic to be avoided.

I'm not laughing

One thing is that some people on the East Coast laugh when we Californians forget how to drive when it rains, or freak out about a little bit of snow. Then again, we're so used to earthquakes that we sometimes find them entertaining.

Here's a couple of comments from other Californians:

"5.9? We eat those for breakfast."

"We call that Tuesday here"

Nero fiddled, Obama golfed

Bush's Fault
