depends on the assignment--I love the National Guard!  They provide logistical support, heavy earth moving/debris removal equipment, the fly out injured on C130's.....provide tactical commo... and best of all...security in damaged areas to prevent looting.  Can never express enough gratitude for all they do.

Being the overly inquisitive person that I am...I have been perusing the US Geological Survey web site. Did you know under their FAQ section they have the question "Where can I buy a Richter scale?" *LOL*

When I lived on the Big Island, there were the occasional tremors which was a great preparation for the 6.7 earthquake that happened in October of 2006. Apparently it lasted only 15 seconds, but it felt longer. There was an aftershock just a few minutes afterwards that felt just as strong, although it wasn't.

Its because leftists tend to keep enemies lists, and no matter how much of a reach it may be they cannot resist the urge to lash out at those such as FOX News that are at or near the top of their list.

Well, put him up against J Edgar Hoover, another well known enemies list keeper, and the fuckstick would look like a bomb throwing anarchist.

So.....depends on your perspective.

Those are the known published ones, the neo-cons who cant seem to get a bill thru congress or get the intel they are given correct vis a vis Iraq, have some insider knowledge of leftists keeping enemies lists, I would suppose 'neath the death panel lists, n-est ces pas?

I just heard on the Jerry Falwell news channel that God has said that the earthquake was in retribution for the vast homosexuality in the republican party.........unfortunately they had to tell a democrat, since all the republicans were being smitten..

YMMV.

I was just making a joke about that other thread with 9/11 happened because Mr. Bush had been on vacation the week before it happened.
