Political Earthquake Humor

August 25, 2011 by Dan Mitchell

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.
