The fundamentals of the building are strong.

grendel September 26, 2008 at 4:11 pm

Suspend the campaign! Call off the debate! This needs Walnuts! full attention!

facehead September 26, 2008 at 4:11 pm

As if this is more important than Sarah Palin in a swimsuit from 1984.

jodyleek September 26, 2008 at 4:11 pm

Did he push Sarah in right before he blew it up? That could be an end to his lady problem.

Holy shit, our physical infrastructure is vanishing now too along with our magical infrastructure (finance).

Lionel Hutz Esq. September 26, 2008 at 4:12 pm

“My Friends, while I would love to debate tonight, I must jet back to DC and support a building that is collapsing. I am the only one who can do so. It is clear that I must act now for the good of the Country.”

tunamelt September 26, 2008 at 4:12 pm

Everything he touches withers and dies.

HomoPolitico September 26, 2008 at 4:14 pm

This building collapsed because Obama wouldn’t agree to ten town halls.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 26, 2008 at 4:14 pm

[re=110272]facehead[/re]: Eeeeeexactly. Priorities, dear mods!

Sigh. One less unoccupied building to squat in when The Depression starts.

[re=110272]facehead[/re]: I say we all just post the word swimsuit until they put it up. That’ll lernum

DoctorCulturae September 26, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Which reminds me. What trash problem will be dumpeth by some scalawag on this, another juicy news day?

ManchuCandidate September 26, 2008 at 4:15 pm

Come on people! The building was built just five and a half years ago!

tunamelt September 26, 2008 at 4:16 pm

[re=110275]columnv[/re]: What do you mean now? Our physical infrastructure has been crumbling to bits in an entirely non-metaphorical way for a long time.

Direct Link… But it will make you sick, I warn you…

Probably Satan coming for dinner. What took him so long?

Condiments-Only Diet September 26, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Well, sometimes gravity rears its ugly head, and when that happens, do you know where buildings go? Alaska.

iwillsavethispatient September 26, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Errr.. there is not a Safe Building America and a Collapsed Builing America, there is only the United Rubble of America?

Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall! No, not that one, it’s load bearing!

WadISay September 26, 2008 at 4:20 pm

Within minutes, the rubble will be full of Republican politicians with bullhorns, bellowing defiance to the world.

grendel September 26, 2008 at 4:21 pm

[re=110286]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Oh and, uh, by the way… yah, we were really visited by aliens in 1947 at Roswell. No questions, kthxbai…

Sure, a bridge would fall every now and then, but building committing fucking suicide!?!?!??!?1/1/?!?

I really must be crazy, thinking I can acutally get some work done during this shitstorm. I must have my head up my ass

queeraselvis v 2.0 September 26, 2008 at 4:22 pm

Building First!

grendel September 26, 2008 at 4:22 pm

[re=110291]Rush[/re]: He’s been on the road whispering into McCain’s ear… had to stop off at home for some booze for tonight.

sezme September 26, 2008 at 4:23 pm

If only Giuliani was the nominee, he’d be in there scooping up babies with his bare hands. This scene isn’t really McCain’s bag.

user-of-owls September 26, 2008 at 4:23 pm

The itsy, bitsy candidate crawled up the waterspout;
down came the Dow and washed Walnut out;
up came…no, wait. The candidate just suspended climbing up the spout.

ms_mcgee September 26, 2008 at 4:23 pm

It’s probably my old house. Seriously, that place was a shithole.

CrunchyKnee September 26, 2008 at 4:24 pm

POWs usually know their buildings.

Beef Supreme September 26, 2008 at 4:25 pm

It was the Federal Applesauce Reserve building.

Monkey September 26, 2008 at 4:26 pm

Why haz our editors gone home early? Iz they preparing for the debate?

CrunchyKnee September 26, 2008 at 4:27 pm

[re=110290]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: God damnit, man!

BobLoblawLawBlog September 26, 2008 at 4:27 pm

How sad that I couldn’t tell if this was a joke or not. Sadder yet is that I’ve only heard Olbermann so far call McCain out for having birthday cake with Dubya, then going on Letterman the day the levees broke in New Orleans. What a mensch, as his BFF would say.

grendel September 26, 2008 at 4:27 pm

[re=110312]user-of-owls[/re]: WIN!

mr.november September 26, 2008 at 4:28 pm

The building is… cratering?

grendel September 26, 2008 at 4:28 pm

[re=110320]Monkey[/re]: Yep… they had to rent a U-Haul to go shopping at the liquor store and pharmacy…

Itsjustme September 26, 2008 at 4:31 pm

Wasn’t a building at all, it was walnut’s campaign imploding.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 26, 2008 at 4:31 pm

[re=110325]grendel[/re]: So now would be the time to pull a shortshortshorts and possibly not get caught, right? I heard this one about a hotdog and a hallway…

DoctorCulturae September 26, 2008 at 4:33 pm

How much time will lapse before McFibber blames Hopesman for deregulation and the great new depression, er, I mean crater?

ThomasAllen September 26, 2008 at 4:35 pm

When he lands in Mississippi, will their state constitution disintegrate into a random pile of letters?

bitchincamaro September 26, 2008 at 4:35 pm
SelfDeprecatingFed September 26, 2008 at 4:38 pm

That building has been collapsing for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS

tunamelt September 26, 2008 at 4:40 pm

[re=110325]grendel[/re]: Funny, I’m plotting an early escape from work to do the same thing.

shortsshortsshorts September 26, 2008 at 4:42 pm

[re=110341]tunamelt[/re]: [re=110325]grendel[/re]: Leaving work early. Gotta fap before the debate.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 26, 2008 at 4:44 pm

[re=110341]tunamelt[/re]: [re=110325]grendel[/re]: [re=110344]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I’m out in a few, as well. But back for the fun, later!

tunamelt September 26, 2008 at 4:45 pm

[re=110341]tunamelt[/re]: Except I won’t be here for the liveblog because I will be at an actual event with people in real life.

OzoneTom September 26, 2008 at 4:47 pm

[re=110341]tunamelt[/re]: Me too. If I were smart I’d just keep a large quantity of liquor here in the office. At least through the election.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 26, 2008 at 4:48 pm

[re=110351]tunamelt[/re]: We’ll miss you. Thanks for the extra drinking game rules!

iwillsavethispatient September 26, 2008 at 4:50 pm

[re=110351]tunamelt[/re]: Real people! Pah! Come to Seattle and meet unreal people!

tunamelt September 26, 2008 at 4:55 pm

[re=110361]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: If I had the power to travel to Seattle from LA in like four hours, yes.

Borat September 26, 2008 at 4:59 pm

[re=110275]columnv[/re]: But will always have the virtual online infrastructure, right? I mean someone’s got to buy +3 swords in virtual universes and characters that have killed a couple elves or goblins and shit, right? (Can that stuff be mortgaged, or even better can I short sell?)

WhatTheHeck September 26, 2008 at 4:59 pm

Oh you young people. How soon ye forget the force is strong with Lord Cheney.
With his cheap Rovian mind tricks he merely needs an object to focus his anger.
Still, it makes me wonder why he hasn’t come after Wonkette corporate offices in D.C.
