Kudos to 6.8!

6.8 managed to not kill anybody when it dropped in unexpectedly on the Pacific Northwest this last month, that same day that GWB announced "disaster prevention isn't working." In response, 6.8 caused some damage, and ushered in the era of the newer, friendlier tax-cut approved earthquake. This new version of an ancient natural disaster will most likely be voted the new congressional mascot, and will get a cushy government job redefining natural disaster for a new economy,

Obviously, disaster prevention isn't working.

because obviously, disaster prevention isn't working. This new mascot of fiscal responsibility will redefine who is at fault when people get crushed under buildings, swept away by floods, or dismembered by flying tornado debris. If someone dies in a natural disaster they will be said to have adhered to the new policies of "Pre-emptive Social Security Cut-Off" and "Elimination of Fiscal Liability." Savings in the billions are doubtless, because disaster prevention obviously isn't working in two major metropolitan areas with a combined population of 3,713,766, plus all those folks living in neither Seattle nor Portland, but somewhere in between. 6.8 gave a showing of compassionate conservatism, proving beyond all doubt that it is willing to join in this new era of bipartisanship, and work with the selected administration to the best of it's earth-shattering abilities. So remember, the next time a wall collapses on you because of an earthquake or a tornado, you can be grateful that 6.8 is in charge. Because disaster prevention obviously isn't working.
