Earthquake!
A 4.3-magnitude earthquake hit the area this morning.
Thousands dead. City in ruins.
Oh. Wait. That's the normal state of affairs around here.
Never mind.
UPDATE: Quake downgraded to a 3.8
The "thousands dead" were actually a satellite shot of Burr Oaks Cemetery.
The "city in ruins" is Shortshanks' legacy of infrastructure neglect and chronic mismanagement.

Has shortshanks security team lured him out from under his bed yet.
Hawks win - now that's a headline!!
Hey SCC hope we never have anything like a major quake here,all our people and money were sent to haiti, more of our resources gone! If anything happens here no one will help us out why do we always help out all these shit nations? Nothing like barry giving away billions in our dollars!!
The epicenter of the ensuing mudslides was the 5th floor at 121 N. LaSalle St.
Widespread fires are engulfing the West and South Sides.
we re still trying to recover from the financial earthquake here. it s called liberal democratic party. the just blame bush party.
Was up at 0400 and felt it. Saw china cabinet dishes shake. Assumed "downtown" was having another swinger party.
Eathquake in Illinois!!!!! Hey Berry, where's our one hundred million????
Maybe Hynes will run for mayor!
OT:
Now all incidents involving possible criminal wrongdoing by police will be handled by IAD. This includes police shootings.
A 3.8 is about as big as a CTA bus going by your house on the pot hole ridden street. Nothing to see here!
Naw, That Was Not A Earthquake SCC, That was The Stuttering Prick & His Band Of 50 Aldertheives Passing Gas!
Global Warming Gasbags They Are!
FREE BILL COZZI!!
Thanks scc. my wife thought it was me rocking the bed!! now she knows.
The Myan calender is correct!!
where is the red cross? Where is My money? no lines with free food and water for me? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Speaking of natural occurances.....
To Tommy B as S&S: Nice fucking job on the snow,,,,still can't get down the side streets.
When can we expect Bono, George Clooney and the rest of the showbiz community to have a benefit for us?
I went to the corner 7-11 to loot right after the quake hit. I got smacked right upside the head and told not to come back there, anymore. What up wit dat?
Shortshanks lost $0.50 from the top of his bureau in his room. he's applying to Obama for Disaster relief compensation for his loss.
Is that what that was this morning? I thought it was shortshanks and J-Fed getting it on and causing the loud rumbling noise.
Wheres the line to get my free home and free Debit card??? Me first!!!! Wait nobody rescued me yet.......HELP!!!
Every time I'm with Penny the earth moves.
THIS WAS THE OUTCOME OF DALEY SAYING THEY HAD TO INVESTIGATE ALDERMEN ETC.
Are the celebs going to do a telethon to help us???
It wasn't an earthquake, it was just Jody giving it to me hard.
The Myan calender is correct!!

no they weren't. The spaniards killed them before they could finish on the 2010 decade. Now go stock up on some water and don't forget to pay the stuttering prick his 5c per bottle.
Guess who's coming back to town in July. Somebody call Ms. Candle in the Wind Wedster.
Move along folks, just move along.
The New Madrid fault line, as well as several others in the midwest, are overdue for a major "readjustment".
I was living in Monterey during the Loma Prieta quake in '89, and I hope I never expereience another one like that.
Scary stuff. Comes at you with no warning and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Kind of like life.
I wish to send some Miller Lite to all my relatives in the suburbs.
I like jokes just like the next guys but comparing what happened in Haiti to Chicago and joking about asking for aid,is a little over the top, even for a policemans sense of humor.

the parallels are spot on.
you'd see that if you'd spent more time outside your momma's basement.
Yeah...just check your home insurance rates...the "earthquake zone" increases are now going to be justified.
Great...another thing we need to deal with having to live in the city.
What happened in the Chicago area had nothing to do with the faults in the New Madrid system. There was a stronger quake in 1968 on a set of faults in Southern Illinois quite a ways east of New Madrid, and another in 1987. They were part of the fault system in the buried rift zone under the Illinois Basin.
The Chicago mini-quake probably had something to do with the "complex faulted zone" noted on the geologic map of Illinois (issued by the Illinois Geologic Survey), west of Chicago. The fault systems of Northern Illinois are not well mapped, largely because they rarely slip.
Perhaps Daley's ass-crack propagated into the Niagra Limestone underlying the city and caused the quake.
In less than 1 hour it will be Day 30.
Have you donated to Haiti yet?
NOT!
It Can and Probably Will Happen Here, from Wikipedia
"The 1811 and 1812 New Madrid Earthquakes are the most intense intraplate earthquake series to have occurred in the contiguous United States in historic times, beginning with an initial pair of very large earthquakes on December 16, 1811. These earthquakes, as well as the seismic zone of their occurrence, were named for the Mississippi River town of New Madrid, Louisiana Territory, now Missouri.
There are estimates that the earthquakes were felt strongly over roughly 130,000 square kilometers (50,000 square miles), and moderately across nearly 3 million square kilometers (1 million square miles). The historic 1906 San Francisco earthquake, by comparison, was felt moderately over roughly 16,000 square kilometers (6,000 square miles)."
Stock-up on food, fuel and ammo we are going to be on our own.
Remember, Daley ain't Rudy Guiliani. And have you read what a mess the Obamaites have made when they over ruled the military on how the relief in Haiti was distributed.
The epicenter was 8 miles from our retirement home, thought we were getting away from the rockin and rollin of chicago! It was strange, heard a loud bang, then the house shook - woke us up. Yawn, then rolled over and went back to sleep - no alarms, you know.
Text DONATE to "311" to donate $10 to recovery efforts
The earthquake really did happen. I fell out of my chair while sleeping at the desk.
I lives in Chicago, gimme some money, gimme, gimme, gimme.
My thing fell down during the earthquake, so gimme, gimme, gimme some money.......you owe it to me cause, why? just cause
There was lots of devestation there and rampant looting in sycamore, we should get local celeberties like Ronnie WOOWOO, Stroger , and Mayor Maltese to do a version of We Are The World for the charities there....
