Yeah, and are you saying the founding fathers would be throwing a party over the current state our country... or is the ignorance more related to the capitalization used?

"Cracks Discovered in Washington Monument Cracking was found in the stones at the top of the Washington Monument Tuesday evening, the National Park Service reported. The National Park Service temporarily closed the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and the Old Post Office Tower as a precaution following Tuesday’s earthquake. The cracking in the Monument was discovered during a secondary inspection. Structural engineers will evaluate the cracks Wednesday and determine how to repair them before the Monument is reopened."

"Stones fall off Washington National Cathedral (AP) - A spokesman for Washington National Cathedral says at least three of the four pinnacles on the central tower have fallen off and the central tower appears to be leaning. The pinnacles are the top stones on the cathedral's towers. Richard Weinberg, director of communications for the cathedral, said the cathedral has been evacuated and stone masons are assessing the damage. The Washington National Cathedral is an Episcopal Church landmark in the capital. Located in the northwest quadrant of the city near foreign embassies and the vice president's residence, the gothic-like structure is among the tallest in the city. It's historically been the site of funerals and memorials for presidents and statesmen."

"The Weather Channel says yesterday's East Coast earthquake was caused by an unknown fault line running under D.C. & through VA.~ It's now being called Obama's Fault, though Obama will say it's really Bush's Fault.~ Other theories are that was the founding fathers rolling over in their graves but I believe it's actually the effects of a $14.6 trillion check bouncing in Washington"
