I’ve seen a couple of jokes connecting the earthquake to what’s happening in Washington, but none of them have been overly funny (i.e., the “earthquake was caused by all the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves”).
But maybe it’s not easy to find humor in things such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Indeed, my only attempt at disaster humor was to mock Paul Krugman for claiming the threat of an attack by space aliens would stimulate the economy.
So I definitely need to give Mike Ramirez credit for this cartoon from Investor’s Business Daily.

This Paul Krugman is a shameless guy. Either he knows what he says is crap, yet says it so that others believe it. Or he doesn’t know that what he says is crap. Either case he is a dubious person.
My contribution… Some Washingtonians report seeing the ghost of Hervé Villechaize (Tattoo from Fantasy Island) in front of the White House, just moments before the quake, shouting: DE-FAULT! DE-FAULT!
