After Washington DC realized that the earthquake was nothing to worry about, they took to Twitter to joke about the cause. Some of the best ones below:
@TPCarney: Krugman says it wasn't big enough.
@comradescott: Evidently the quake occurred on a little known fault line outside of DC called "Bush's Fault".
@calebhowe: Breaking: Obama administration points out they "inherited" fault lines from previous administrations.
@MaizeBlueNation: Fox News claims the Washington monument is leaning to the right, MSNBC claims it's leaning to the left. More news at 11.
@charliespiering: I won't stop shaking until Obama makes a speech telling me that everything is ok and that he has a plan.
@Ben_Howe: As all of DC leaves work at the same time, the United States experiences a brief economic recovery.
