Shaking up the status quo
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the after-shocks from yesterday's Virginia earthquake continued for awhile, at least in Washington DC.
Who knows? We might see Republicans and Democrats holding onto one another for support. The tremors could even crack open closed minds. Insurmountable obstacles could crumble, leaving our government once again exposed to compromise.
Now, that would be earth shaking.

Unfortunately, the politicians will probably spin the earthquake just like they spin everything else. Republicans will blame the Democrats' opposition to drilling, contending it would not only respond to our energy needs but relieve geological stress. Democrats will blame the Republicans for opposing a new EPA (Earthquake Prevention Agency).
