A major hurricane of the east coast and 3 major earthquakes in 2 days. Lets make a pool on how long it will take for a televangelist to blame it on gay marriage. ---

Where and when was the 3rd quake? I only know about the 5.9 in Virginia and the one in Colorado ---

Obviously God is pissed that Rick Perry is the current GOP front-runner. The third earthquake was in San Leandro, CA; only about a 3.6, though. ---

Too late! And this time it’s actually a [Rabbi](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/24/rabbi-yehuda-levin-earthquake_n_935596.html)! ---

It’s Obama’s Fault, i.e., that’s the name that has been given to the geologic seismic fault that lies under D.C. Remember, you read it here first. ---

Educated people should know that quakes aren’t caused by gay marriage, they’re caused when tectonic plates slide past each other. Silly Rabbi, quakes are from skids. ---
