Wait, I know what will work. We just need to send in the negotiator in chief. He can either make the rain stop, or perhaps persuade the rocks to give up their pursuit of WADs. (weapons of auto destruction).

This is a case of vast right-wing, Christian conspiracy.

Bush did it… obviously!

As Climate Change grows worse and our Mother Earth trys to fight off the Human Flu we have given her these kinds of
catrasophies will be taking place. Luckily no one was hurt by this sypmtom of the Human flu Mother Earth now sufers
from. It is all of up to the earthers to watch and control your personal carbon foot print and use only green
products. Mother Earth can beat the case of Human Flu she has, but it will have to be with some help from human
earthers.

Pres. Bush probably did it.
Either that, or global warming is to blame.
Wait, wasn’t the pavement black and some of those rocks that fell (attacked) on it were whitish…where’s Sharpton and Jackson!?

This happened near me in Tennessee. The news crew was on site to do a segment about a previous slide. Don’t you know they crapped in their drawers when this one happened too? Too close for comfort!

IceCream Rover, it’s time for your meds

This is all natural, as you can see, the slide occured at a seam in the embankment; rain got in there and walla, lubrication. This will continue to occur as long as water in allowed to infiltrate the seams. In mining, we do our best to divert water from crack in the hillside. What slays me is how these guys went in after the slide; IT’S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!
