Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, January 23, 2010

One of the strongest earthquakes ever to hit the United States happened in southeast Missouri along the Mississippi River. Geologists consider the New Madrid fault line a major seismic zone and predict that an earthquake roughly the magnitude of the Haiti earthquake could occur in the area during the next 50 years. "I would like to see far more retrofit programs, strengthening of buildings, especially masonry buildings, tying down bridges," crisis consultant Mark Ghilarducci said of the region, which in some areas is triple the U.S. poverty rate.

"...strengthening of buildings..."

Strengthening of shacks in the woods?

Flying bridges could put your eye out.

I have a great idea.

Let's put the Democrat Party in New Orleans in charge of administering the retrofit funding!

That should get all those bridges and stuff fixed before the Big One hits - right?

Yeah same deal here, they said a huge one was due in Southern California in the next thirty years twenty years ago so I guess we are screwed in the next ten.

It's probably going to happen because of the seismic shifting of all that medicaid money to their neighbor, Louisiana.

Well, the Northridge quake was bad, but could've been far worse. The one you have to worry about is the La Puenta Fault, east of the L.A. basin. When that one goes, the whole basin is basically going to be a bowl of jello.

"Let's put the Democrat Party in New Orleans in charge of administering the retrofit funding!"

Or, we could let the Army Corps of Engineers neglect them like they did the levies. Whatever.

So now the .gov is scaring us with earthquakes man o man obama

Just a few weeks ago there was an article explaining that scientists now have evidence that a major quake on the New Madrid is less likely than previously thought.
Long-term quake prediction is about on par with predicting what color 13 year old girls are going to be wearing next year.

If a big quake or any other major disaster hits the U.S., Count the Nations, or Countries that come to their aid... OOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Watch, and see for yourselves dumb asses...

They will. Following Katrina we had offers from dozens of nations to send aid. Bush said OK to a few and "Pfffft...NO" to most of them.

International response to Hurricane Katrina

Ya, it's Wiki, but you're welcome to Google it yourself. You'll find the same information. This lists all of them in alphabetical order.

After 911 we had Brit radar planes patrolling off the NC coast.

I guess you discovered Dr. ShitForBrains is not one to let trifling things like facts get in the way of a good nonsensical rant.

Shhh...This doesn't fit in with Dr. Dipshit's excuse to hate American goodwill.

If so many nations offered so MANY millions of dollars in assistance why in the hell were so many victims of hurricane Katrina having to steal and loot businesses that were struck by the storm in order to survive???, Who do you blame for that???
Oh of course Bush, who else do the socialists pigs blame their on selfish ignorance upon???
Shit-WHATS-LEFT, ZOMBIE-SHIT-HUNTER, AMERICAN-SHITY???

Mississippi is a redstate so all I can say is bring it on.

The ice is melting.

Well, well, well. What do you know?

Fans of government corruption really do exist!?

Let me guess, you got rich too from all that "levy money" (that went everywhere BUT into levies)?

Is that about right?

You forgot Aids, terrorists, and explosive diarrhea.

See numbers 18 and 24.

There's alot I left out, but don't sweat it, someone will soon post an article, study, survey etc. to satisfy the daily need for doom and gloom.

Where oh where are you tonight, why did you leave me here in the cold? I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love then you met another and pffffft you was gone.

"I would like to see far more retrofit programs, strengthening of buildings, especially masonry buildings, tying down bridges"

Bridges in this country are generally in bad shape. That our government managed to throw around billions after billions in stimulus money without addressing this in any meaningful way is sad but typical.
