Natural Disaster

For Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, Hurricane Irene and last week’s earthquake in the eastern United States were a message from God that Washington needs to change its policies. Reuters

I dont’ know if Ms. Bachmann is right, but I do know it seems unfair that the folks along the Eastern seaboard would have three natural disasters in a row in such a short period of time.

Three? Yes! A significant earthquake. A relatively strong hurricane. And the re-convening of the Congress of the United States in September.
