FOX Nation. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The ability of the user base to immediately politicize literally anything is astounding. Go click on any story, and just scroll down to the comments. I just can't look away; it's like a train wreck. Look, I don't care what your political beliefs are, but if your first response to a natural disaster is A) "Yay! God hates [insert policy]," or B) "I wish the opposition leader was there so he could have died," you suck. Plain and simple. And I want to emphasize that we didn't cherry pick the worst quotes. We picked the ones that were short enough to fit in the strip, but we had plenty of options from one story on the earthquake. Oh, and they think The Onion is real. So there's that too.
That said, I'm really glad it wasn't a worse quake. I was stressed for a couple hours until I heard back from all my friends and family in the area. It's just one of those things where you know it's probably fine, but you can't stop the nightmare scenarios running through your head. The longer it takes to hear from someone, the more you convince yourself that something happened.
