Reportedly, this weekend at a Watauga County Republican Party convention, our own Senator Virginia Foxx had this to say about the Japan earthquake and tsunami:

It is a sign that God is still in charge.

Yeah.  Right.

It has nothing to do with fault lines and shifting tectonic plates.

It was God.  He looked down at us and thought to Himself, "Hmmmm.  I think I'll make my presence known.  Because they all look so complacent down there.  Gotta exert my authorit-tay.  Gotta show 'em who's the boss.  I suppose I could miraculously cure some disease overnight…. Nah!  I think I'll smite Japan with a devestating earthquake.  Yeah.  That'll show 'em!!"
